Loganville Man Needs Donations for Kidney Transplant

Loganville resident Becky Cox is asking for donations to help her father, Bill Eidson, get a kidney transplant. 

According to his GoFundMe campaign, Eidson has polycystic kidney disease and needs a new kidney. 

"He does not have insurance to cover the cost associated with being put on dialysis and the transplant list," Cox wrote on the campaign page, "so we are trying to gather donations to help assist with these extensive costs."

In November, American Legion Post 233 held a fall festival benefit in his honor.  

Their goal is to raise $10,000. As of Thursday evening (Dec. 5), donations have totaled to $971. 

Contributions will go directly to the care and transplant cost associated with his kidney disease treatment, Cox wrote. To donate to Eidson, go to www.gofundme.com/billeidsonkidney.
