The Family of Vinod Hosein are organizing this fundraiser on his behalf and reaching out with heavy hearts, grounded by hope, to ask for support for someone deeply loved by so many. At 45 years old, Vinod is facing the toughest fight of his life. If you know Vinod, you know the warmth and light he brings into every room. He is a truly loving, caring, and exceptionally kind son, brother, uncle, nephew, and cousin. From the time he was a young boy, Vinod was the undeniable apple of his maternal grandfather (Nana)’s eye, and he has always been deeply cherished by his family. His devotion to those he loves has never wavered, and now it is his family’s turn to stand beside him and fight for him. Vinod was recently diagnosed with Stage 5 Renal Amyloidosis, a rare and aggressive condition that has severely damaged his kidneys. His kidney EGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is now at just 8%. An EGFR of 15 and below is Stage 5 kidney disease or ESRD (end stage renal disease), requiring dialysis or transplant. His medical team has outlined an urgent, multi-step care plan that requires treatment in India before he can receive a life-saving kidney transplant there. Vinod currently lives in Trinidad & Tobago, which means he must travel abroad to access the care he needs, and he is expected to head to India in early December 2026. The funds raised will help cover treatment, surgery, pre-op and post-op procedures, medical bills, recovery care, travel expenses from Trinidad & Tobago to India, and an extended stay in India of approximately 6 months or less. Vinod’s retired parents will also be accompanying him throughout this journey, which adds to the overall cost. The family is urgently asking for help and support during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter the amount, will mean so much and will go toward helping Vinod receive the care he needs. If donating is not possible, please consider sharing this fundraiser, keeping Vinod in your thoughts, and lifting him up in prayer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, love, and support.
