One week later NaChelle was born via emergency c-section weighing in at 1lb 6oz. Then the transplant journey began. Two years later Joyce was successfully transplanted.
Fast forward to 2016: Joyce became ill without explanation. Come to find out, she was dehydrated, had a severe but asymptomatic UTI, and was in full blown rejection. Doctors battled to save the kidney but ultimately lost. Joyce began dialysis in May of 2018 and has to start the process over again. Unfortunately, secondary insurance or a large fundraising campaign is required for her to begin to get on the transplant list. A law was passed in the state of Oklahoma which prohibits a person with ESRD and Medicare from obtaining secondary insurance.
Joyce is a single mother with a 10 year old little girl. She is very family oriented, loves to cook for others, is a very social person, and misses having the energy to play with her little girl. She maintains a positive outlook and is determined to raise the money needed to be transplanted and get healthy again. She is determined to return to being a working mom and raise her daughter. Kidney disease will NOT win! Now she needs your help to raise the money for transplant. Please help Joyce!
Family and friends of Joyce Ryans are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. Joyce has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility to the full extent allowed by law for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.

Thank you for your support!
It’s been a while since we updated. Joyce is officially on the transplant list. YAY! Because she is going to be harder to match this time, last week she was put on the national transplant list, giving her access to a much larger pool of possible donors. The pandemic has slowed down the testing process, but we are hopeful that a match is found soon.
Well everyone OU Transplant team has given us a list of to do’s to get on the list. I was allowed to begin MY blood testing process, but still not to the point of testing others yet.(they drew 17 vials of blood!! Yikes!!) These are my requirements as of right now: I must retake all of my childhood immunizations again, as I’m not immune to anything it turns out. My teeth were immensely weakened by my condition so I’m having to remove all my upper teeth and get an upper denture in place. Multiple scans and medical tests are required as well. We are halfway to our fundraising goal and we are so thankful to all of you! I love you all, even if I’ve never met you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and from my family.

You know that we would give anything we have, including the clothes off our backs, this is all I have right now, but I will give what I can, when I can. I'm sorry I cant share one of my kidneys bc of my lupus, and all of our babies are willing to get tested, but they arent old enough :( Were behind you baby, every step! We love you so much Joyce Lynn!!! Trisha, Jeff, Taylor, Jessiekah, Erick, Abaigael & Micha-Linn Doucet
