Tasha Apple, a young Lakota Sioux is in dire need of a kidney transplant. According to her Aunt, Amanda Takes War Bonnett, she has been diagnosed with end stage renal disease and is now living with her kidneys functioning at only 10 percent.

Tasha's Aunt stated, "This disease has been estimated to run its course by spring and so far no donor has been found."

Tasha lives on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

Please contact Amanda Takes War Bonnett at the following email address. warbonet@gwtc.net and visit Tasha Apple's home page.

Update as of May 9, 1999!

"5/9/99 - Since the page was created for Tasha on 2/02/99, she has been hospitalized and is now at a Colorado hospital. What is left of Tasha's kidneys aren't working well and she is having problems with her heart. We are praying one of her aunts will match and be able to donate her a kidney. We pray Tasha gets stronger to receive this kidney, and her heart will be able to take the strain of the operation. We ask for prayers for Tasha. Please continue to enjoy Tasha's homepage. A card or letter in real mail would be nice too. You can send them to: Tasha Apple, P.O. Box 234, Martin, SD 57551. They will be sent on to Tasha. Thank you in advance for your prayers, thoughts, and cards." --Amanda Takes War Bonnett
