Story

This family is looking for support with basic needs while they trust God to provide a kidney. Mom is in stage 5 kidney failure, and is standing strong in faith with her husband, who is a teacher and working around the clock to care for his wife and 5 children. See her message below:

Today I’m reaching out with hope in my heart. I’m currently in stage 5 kidney failure, the last stage I’m need of a kidney donor. It’s not easy to say that, and even harder to ask — but I know that sharing this could be the beginning of a life-changing journey.
A kidney transplant wouldn’t just improve my health — it would give me the chance to live more fully. It would mean less time in hospitals and more time with the people I love. It would mean energy to be present, to work, to laugh, to make memories. It would lift a weight off my family’s shoulders, who have walked this difficult road by my side.
If you’ve ever thought about organ donation or know someone who might be willing to learn more, please reach out to me.
Sharing this post alone could help find the right person.
