Nia’s Transplant Road to Recovery

Hello everyone, as most of you know, I was diagnosed with renal failure in January 2012, of my junior year in high school and in December 2018 my kidneys finally decided to fail and I ended up on hemodialysis. For the past five years, I have consistently been attending treatments, going to doctors appointments and trying to to become a transplant candidate so that I can finally live a normal healthy life. With lots of trials and tribulations I have been turned away multiple times, due to complications with other health issues.
Finally, I have been able to keep my underlying health issues at bay and am now cleared to be transplanted.

By the grace of God, I did not have to search too far because I had a sibling who was willing to be tested to determine if he was a match; that sibling being my brother, Marlin Johnson. As of last week, he has officially been determined to be a match as my donor and we are currently in the works of coming up with a surgery date.

So, I’m coming to you all asking for help to support us during our recovery period, as we will both be out of work for about 2/3 months. No donation is too small and anything is appreciated. I’d also like to thank you all for all your loving and kind words as I’ve been working to accomplish this goal
