Myrianne “Nounouche” Austrel, was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2013. Austrel is the daughter of Fritz and Claudette Joseph, who have supporting her through the treatments and intensive medical care required to deal with kidney failure. However the life threatening disease is taking a toll and her health is deteriorating.
She and her parents hope the treatments will be able to save part of the kidney that is still functioning. If that is not possible, then a kidney transplant will be required.
Friends are seeking donations for her medical care because the Spring Valley resident recently exhausted her COBRA health benefits and her parents are both retired.
