On the Streets: Billings Woman Begs for Kidney
PKD causes clusters of cysts to grow in the kidneys.
BILLINGS – You might have seen Worden resident Chris Coats flashing her bright green signs across the city of Billings.
She’s not looking for money; she’s looking for a kidney.
Coats has polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic disorder that has turned her life upside down.
“Life is changing for me,” said Coats.
PKD causes clusters of cysts to grow in the kidneys.
“Fatigued, fuzzy-brained, you just need to have your kidneys working,” Coats said.
She learned she had it as a teenager, and the now 67-year-old has tried to manage the disease her whole life.
