Hi,
I’m Brook, and I’m in a race against time for a life-saving kidney transplant. After almost 15 years on dialysis, my body is reaching its limits. In 2021, I underwent double bypass surgery due to heart complications caused by years of dialysis.
My doctors have made it clear: a kidney transplant isn’t optional—it’s urgent.
My Journey
Living with kidney disease has been a long and exhausting road. Dialysis has kept me alive, but it’s also taken a heavy toll on my body and heart. The bypass surgery was a wake-up call—it reminded me how fragile time really is.
This transplant isn’t just another procedure. It’s my chance to reclaim my life—to move from surviving to living again.
Why I Need Your Help
While I’m deeply grateful that insurance will cover the surgery itself, there are critical costs it doesn’t cover:
A 24/7 caregiver during recovery for one month or until released by UCLA
Transportation to medical appointments
Meals and basic living expenses while I recover away from home
These aren’t extras—they’re the essentials that make recovery possible.
How You Can Make a Difference
Your donation lifts an enormous weight off my shoulders and gives me the chance to heal safely. Every dollar goes directly toward my pre- and post-transplant care through Help Hope Live, ensuring accountability and proper use of funds.
No amount is too small. Every contribution brings me closer to this life-saving surgery and a healthier future.
A Promise of Gratitude
I’ll be posting updates to share my progress and thank everyone who’s helped along the way. Your support isn’t just financial—it’s emotional fuel. It gives me strength and reminds me that I’m not in this alone.
Even if you can’t give, please share my story or keep me in your thoughts and prayers. That support means just as much.
Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and care. Your kindness is giving me a real shot at life.
I chose to fundraise through Help Hope Live because they ensure every dollar is used responsibly for medical and related expenses—and all donations are tax-deductible.

Living Kidney Donation
I’m also searching for a living kidney donor. Blood type O is preferred but not required. Everyone has 2 Kidneys, and you only need one Kidney to live a normal life. If you can’t donate to me, please consider donating to one of the 123,000 people waiting on the Kidney Transplant list in the U.S.
If you’re interested in donating a Kidney, please sign up at UCLAKidneyDonor.org.
