Donielle Artese is a beautiful young lady that has been suffering in near silence for over 20 years. As an actress and dancer, most would never know that she has been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus and has had total kidney failure twice in her life-once 14 years ago, where she had a miraculous recovery, then a relapse last year where she now definitely needs a new kidney. She has had 2 Strokes and 2 Blood Transfusions. She is on dialysis for 8 hours every single night, and is continuing to work in the film and televison business, in part because she loves it, but also because she can't afford to lose her health insurance. So, regardless of how she might be feeling, she keeps pushing herself. She is on the National Donor's List and is actively seeking a kidney donor, but in the meantime, she needs help. If you know Donielle, you know she is a giving person, but she doesn't ask anyone for assistance. Well, we are asking for her. PLEASE donate what you can to help her with medicine, bills, and overall relief. Any amount helps. This is just the beginning, because once she gets the kidney transplant, she will need funds to live on while she recovers. Please share this! Thank you from Donielle and her friends and family!!!
