Mother of a 5 year old found a kidney donor match! Please help her cover transplant surgery and medical expenses.
Please help our sister pay for medical expenses for her upcoming kidney transplant. A close childhood friend has selflessly volunteered to donate her kidney. Proceeds will help pay for uncovered medical costs.

Kaia was able to leave the hospital about a week after her surgery. She is improving each day and her follow-up appointments at Froedert are slowly decreasing. She’ll be on anti-rejection medications and a restricted diet for the rest of her life, but she’s so grateful not to be on dialysis everyday anymore. Her donor, Kristine, was able to return to work last week and reports she’s feeling good!

We’re so grateful for Kaia and Kristine’s successful surgeries! Kristine has been released from the hospital and her wonderful son will help her as she recovers. Kaia is still in ICU, but will probably be moved to a regular floor today.
Kaia’s doctor said Kristine’s kidney started to produce urine as soon as it was connected in surgery! She’s been able to eat regular food and meet her daily goals for walking. She has a long road to recovery still (6-8 weeks), but she’s making great progress.
Thank you again to all the amazing people that donated!
