Health : Craig Needs A New Kidney!
Several months ago, Craig woke up a random Sunday morning. He rubbed his eyes a few time to clear up the blurriness like he does every morning, but this time it didnt go away. Over the next number of weeks, he noticed his vision continuously got worse and worse to the point of where he was unable to read, drive, recognize faces, or see anything on his phone or computer without zooming in. Not only that, but he would begin throwing up in the morning and get terrible migraine headaches. He eventually went to a doctor. When they checked his blood pressure at rest, it was 200/144. Both the nurse and doctor were shocked he hadn’t had a stroke or heart attack. They gave him meds and took blood for lab testing.
The next day, he received a voicemail from the doctor. He explained to him that based on his blood results, his kidneys were only working at 5%. He referred him to a nephrologist and they admitted him to the hospital. He then started dialysis and his name got on the transplant list.
Craig could never imagined something like this would happen to him at such a young age. He never been a hardcore drinker; never touched drugs or steroids. He always been a fun loving goofball with a YouTube channel and a dream of making it comedy.
Obviously replacing an organ is not the cheapest procedure in the world. With your help, a little less stress will be resting on his shoulders as he continue down this path to health. Any amount that you’re able to donate will certainly be appreciated.

My heart goes out to him, but at least he has dialysis. I found out early this year my liver is in 4th stage failure, and with out a transplant I may not live much longer. I’m on a transplant list as well, but since we only have one liver, the chances of my getting a liver transplant are slim. I just have to keep my faith and hope for the best. There is nothing that can do the job for the liver, no dialysis, or anything to help. There are some meds that help with this function, or that one, but that’s about all. I wish him luck, but with the expense of a liver transplant looming in the future, if I am lucky, there is no extra money from here. Many insurance policies cover a lot on kidney transplants, and you can get SS disability easier for a kidney transplant than about anything else.
HOW CAN I HELP? I am enormously wealthy
What type dose he need
Corey, maybe u should contact him directly on his page.
How sad, I’m currently waiting to get tested to see if I’m a match to donate a kidney to a friend. I look forward to seeing Craig’s videos, where can I find them?
Well, I’m all about helping people, but you should ask him about his steroid use that he pursued, even after several folks told him not to.
I don’t victim blame, but this pandering needs to be exposed. I get it, he needs help.
To Mike. The original article states that Craig never used was a hardcore drinker and never used drugs of steroids.
So how did his kidneys get irreversibly damaged losing over 95% of their function?
This is a stone cold money grab. Never does he say that this money will be used for his medical bills. It just says that it will mean a little less stress on his shoulders. I young rich kid from Vero Beach, Fl…He’s probably got the best medical coverage money can buy.
Call me a skinflint, but I’m not going to give someone my money just because someone else liked his youtube vids. At worst, he’ll just have to declare bankruptcy due to medical bills like most of the rest of us have to since medical care is a for-profit business in the US.
I want my future husband to look like him. Caucasian and scruffy.
his destructive habits destroyed his kidneys and now we’re going to paly for it ?
I’m just curious.
How did his story end up here?
Did he send the blog a press release?
