Julia Hardin needs a kidney.



Julia was diagnosed with a childhood disease, HSP, that caused a domino effect of physical maladies, including thyroid and chronic high blood pressure. Now, she's been diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease, and barely in her 20's.



For the past several months, she's been undergoing near-daily dialysis treatments. But this is no way for anyone to live, least of which a beautiful, vibrant and vivacious young woman with so much to do.



A new kidney would restore a full, normal life to her, something she hasn't had for over half of her life. Her friends and family have rallied around her to do what they can, but there's still more to do. Her expenses will not be insignificant, and funds must be raised to get her back to normal. The average transplant is $300,000. Insurance will help, but there's still room to fill. Living expenses to be covered while in recovery, and a lifetime of anti-rejection medication.



If you can spare a dollar, it would mean the world. But sharing is free, and means just as much. Spread this, and let's give her the life she more than deserves. Thank you.
