My name is Sanjeewa Perera, and I am 35 years old.
I am a father who wakes up every day with one goal — to stay alive for my young son.

Both My Kidneys Have Failed

In 2024, I was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure.
After months of hospital visits, tests, and medications, doctors confirmed on May 19, 2025, that I need an urgent kidney transplant to survive.
This recommendation was made by Dr. Anupama De Silva at the Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Laboratory.

Multiple specialists have confirmed the same thing:> Without a transplant, Iwill not survive.


But the surgery costs $15,000 — far more than my family can afford.


What My Life Feels Like Today

My body is swollen, and I feel constantly weak

I suffer from severe itching, nausea, and dizziness

Walking, eating, and even breathing are painful struggles

Dialysis drains my strength — physically and emotionally

I take daily medications and injections

I must travel regularly for tests and hospital checkups


This illness has robbed me of my health, my ability to work, and the life I once had.


We Can’t Afford This Battle Alone

My parents have already given up everything to support me.
There’s nothing left to sell, no more money to borrow.
We come from a low-income background, and now I’m completely dependent on treatment to survive.


I Need $15,000 to Stay Alive

This amount will help cover:

Pre-surgery tests and scans

Kidney transplant surgery and hospital stay

Lifelong post-transplant medications and care

Travel and follow-up costs


These aren’t luxuries — they’re essential to staying alive.


How You Can Help

Donate – Any amount, big or small, makes a real difference

Share – Spread my story with your friends, family, and community

Support – Your kindness gives me the strength to keep fighting


I’m not asking for comfort or luxury — just a chance to live.
To be there for my son.
To live another day.


Please, be my miracle

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, caring, and helping me hold on to life.
