When Jonathan's mother, Yuberky, was pregnant, she won a 4D ultrasound in a contest. During that ultrasound, she learned her little boy was suffering from polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Doctors said Jonathan wouldn't survive because his kidneys were so enlarged that his lungs couldn't develop properly. Jonathan has had both kidneys removed and requires dialysis treatments at home for more than 10 hours each day. Doctors have said a kidney transplant is critical to his survival.Rather than arranging play dates and playing silly games with her baby boy, single mom Yuberky must spend her time scheduling doctors' visits and dialysis treatments for little Jonathan. They are facing a difficult challenge, but Yuberky is determined to be there for her son and see him overcome this health battle.
A kidney transplant costs approximately $250,000. And that's only the beginning. Even with insurance, Jonathan's family faces significant medical expenses related to his transplant.
