Donations/future: Anybody else worry about the future and providing for others when your transplant finishes?
My brother is 9 years post cadaveric in transplant and due to other illnesses (Chrohns disease) and factors hasn’t been able to save for a home for him and his partner and worries he won’t be able too if he has to stop working.
Anybody got any tips? And any tips for how family can help if/when the transplant fails? Thanks
FYI he is trying a go fund me to get some funds to get in his way to a home for his partner and future family.

You are right, there are ALWAYS worries not just with Kidney Transplants, but with any chronic disease. BUT ... with kidney transplants, there are usually 2 options, subsequent transplants and dialysis. Hopefully, one, the other or a combination of both will help your brother not only live, but continue to work!
