Doraville woman seeks donations for kidney transplant

Doraville officials hope to raise at least $60,000 in donations for Beatriz Flores, a 20-year-old woman who is suffering from renal failure and needs a kidney transplant.

Most of the $350,000 cost for the surgery is being covered by The Children’s Hospital of Atlanta. Flores, however, needs help with the uncovered costs.

The National Transplant Assistance Fund (NTAF) is assisting Flores with her fundraising efforts. Read her profile on the NTAF website: http://www.ntafund.org/find-a-patient/profile/index.cfm/patient/A4EDDA7E-91C5-63DF-0FBE37906E305958.
