Lost a Lot of blood at kidney treatment last week by accident

Trying to avoid a hospital stay, but man I’m exhausted still. Did a narcolepsy at the 7-11 again today.

Maybe I should get a Jamba will all the boosts?

They started giving me the Lance Armstrong drugs but haven’t quite kicked in yet

Anyway Las Vegas is cool in a. Lot of ways I didn’t anticipate

So this is my last weekend in Miami, before I head off to America other most ridiculous city, Las Vegas in hope of getting my kidney surgery.

Life is weird. This is another unexpected chapter and I’m going w it.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped!

Between gofundme, cashapp and the extra special Salem Fundraiser show, I’ve raised a little over $5k.

My stepdad, Don Denning really surprised by donating his old car (vintage Lexus hybrid) and put on new tires and tuneup. This will be a huge help to have a car w a/c in the hot hot heat of the desert.

Flying out on Monday and trying to sell the rest of my furniture this weekend.

Turns out it’s not too late to contribute and share to the Saving Brando campaign. Then just write it off! (in a Costanza voice)

It’s really come to this- my ninth life, my hail Mary It’s more than … Brandon Swarthout needs your support for Saving Brando: Hail Mary Kidney Situation

Major thanks to Wende for hosting this- multiple people told me how awesome you are today

Kinda stoked on moving to Las Vegas in two weeks… never thought I’d say that

Ended up getting a sweet deal on an apartment close to downtown and the kidney hospital

My parents gave me their old car, which is cool. Riding motorcycles after kidney treatment is kinda sketchy in the 110 degree summer… it’s a vintage hybrid Lexus which is actually very cool

I’ll be in a better situation as far as getting transplant sooner and everything in Las Vegas costs about half of Miami life

Although I’m gonna miss Miami for it’s tropical ways and rad style, I’ll be glad to be back on the west coast where people get my jokes

If I have the energy I’m kinda looking forward to having a car and riding desert trails on my emoto

The discount seafeeds seem pretty awesome

Come visit me the flights are cheap and I’ll be a Vegas expert

Okay I’ve switched to gofundme- disregard the fundly link and use this instead. Thanks you guys are awesome!

Dropping my online Saving Brando fundraiser today at 7pm eastern on gofundme. Link in bio

It’s really come to this- my ninth life, my hail Mary

It’s more than a year past when I thought I’d have the new Florida kidney! My health is not getting better and time is running tf out

They took me off the list for six months cause I barfed doing the treadmill heart tests

Miami rent prices have sky rocketed 30-40% post pandemic to be the most expensive in the entire country. My money and time has run out

I’m still at the hospital 3-4days a week and part time employment. I know my life looks kinda fun on instagram when I’m riding bikes and wearing cool shirts, but the reality has become a prett harsh situation tbh

So here I am- begging for help on the internet.
I need $20k min to move to Las Vegas where the living costs are half of Miami and there are TWO hospitals that will get me back on the National list in the same position in que

My stepdad, the legend Don Denning gave me his old car so that I don’t die from the desert heat riding a motorcycle to treatments. It needs some repairs and to be shipped to Vegas ( or maybe the Manning boys will drive it to me)

This is my fastest and best track to kidney

I’ve found an apartment by the hospitals, have a car and some business ideas for Las Vegas

99 dollars round trip flights means I could actually come home for a weekend and have friends visit

It’s not over yet

You could even get a jumpstart my making a donation at Cashapp $savingbrando

If you’re broke cause 2024, think about sharing this around. I need the reach of influencers or anything else. Show your rich uncle or tell Elon Musk and Jon Bovi about my situation

Seriously thank you I know will work! Link in bio

Okay it’s officially up!

The final chance to help save me! It’s a really good deal!

If you can’t donate even a stupid 20 bucks at least help make it go viral!

If not I’ll become a ghost and haunt your dreams forever

Working on Saving Brando website today

Kidney treatment and transplant are taking about a year longer than anticipated.

My health isn’t getting better. I’m at the kidney hospital 4 days a week and it sucks. So bad.

But I’m closer to transplant than ever and will have a pretty intense first year of recovery

Things are looking up. My insurance pays out over a million a year for my treatments but I’m still $40k short to finish this stupid journey.

I’ve been making Saving Brando content in my limited free time. It’s a motivational comedy documentary series following my journey to Miami for kidney transplant. It’s also sketch comedy, product reviews and tropical mystery. I’m hoping to acquire some sponsorships and donations to keep producing saving Brando and to continue my life saving treatment in Florida

A ripple makes a wave. I wanna ride that wave to a new kidney and a new life. Pop in a couple bucks it’s fun!

SAVE BRANDO A RACE AGAINST TIME My name is Brandon, but alot of people call me Brando. I was one of the first guys I knew to get covid. I pent 28 days in the hospital and came out with permanent kidney failure!! I know, right?! But get this, in Oregon where I’m from it can take 7+ years to get a k...
