Hello, my name is Steavella Tippens-Gaddis. I had a successful liver transplant in June 2016. Unfortunately, since then my kidneys have gotten worse and I will need to go on dialysis soon if a donor isn’t perfectly matched.
I have always been a loving wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, sister, aunt and good friend. I was also very involved in my church ministry and always there for others.
Unfortunately, due to my declining health, I had to stop working four years ago and am no longer able to do so much of what I was always able to do. After receiving a kidney transplant I look forward to spending quality time with friends, family and becoming a more active member of the community again. After many years of trying to help others, now I need your help.

June 17th God blessed me to get my new liver. I am so thankful to Dr. Alan Hawxby and the entire transplant team to do such a wonderful job. Now I just need to get my strength back.

Must start my campaign over. So many people that I thought would donate has made me weary. I will make another appeal to my FRIENDS & FAMILY because they may have forgotten about me at all. I am still positive about this transplant and know it will take place with God's will. Need another picture also.
