MIAMI, OK.--- Debbie Rentfrow, 54, is in renal failure. A kidney transplant is crucial for her survival, but the bills are mounting up. An average kidney transplant costs about $250,000. She and her family will be selling kettle corn this weekend to raise money. Rentfrow was diagnosed with kidney failure after battling diabetes for over 40 years.

"I'll be going along doing just fine and then I'll have no energy. I just absolutely have no energy, and I have felt so bad because of diabetes. I knew I had kidney disease but didn't know I was in renal failure," says Debbie Rentfrow.

The Kettle Corn Fundraiser will be this Friday and Saturday at the Miami Wal-Mart from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can also place orders for delivery.
