Ticket price includes food, drink, entertainment, a chance to win a Green Bay Packer recliner. Silent auction, raffles, activities for kids.
Several years ago Julie had a pancreas transplant and incurred complications that burned her internally and led her to require amputation of both legs. Recently, her kidney function dropped to 22 percent.
Julie’s sister will donate her a kidney when Julie’s body is strong enough to go through surgery and support the new organ. She must have the kidney transplant before dialysis is necessary, because existing health complications make dialysis a great health risk for her.
