There will be a Yard sale to support the family of Matt Crim from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1949 Georgia Highway 81, Suite 500, Loganville. This will be on the back side of the building. (Still accepting donations of things for the sale also).

“Matt is the sole support of his family and is in stage 5 kidney failure undergoing dialysis three times a week,” said June Knapp. “If anyone has anything sitting around in their garages or attics they would like to donate for this sale it would be greatly appreciated.”

According to a GoFunMe account that has been set up to help the family, Matt has been a diabetic since childhood and the damage the disease has done to his kidneys has finally reached a stage where he is in need of a kidney transplant. While they knew this would be in his future at some point, it has come up much quicker than expected. On a routine follow up, he was sent to the Emergency Room to begin dialysis.

“Matt is at every ballgame and practice for his two boys, however, now Matt is in the hospital receiving daily dialysis,” his wife said in the GoFundMe Account.

Matt needs a living donor that has blood type A. The family is asking for prayers for Matt in the coming days as a donor is sought.
