Granger Gift of Life

"Pass me not, O gentle Savior, Hear our humble cry, while on others thou art calling, do no pass us by"

Since Briana Granger graduated from Eastmoor HS and entered college, she has survived gunshots as an innocent victim, Lupus which attacked several organs, which resulted in kidney failure. She went to dialysis three day a week before school and still managed to graduate this past May 2017 from the Honors program at Clark Atlanta University. Now she will face her toughest test yet.

Twins Brent & Briana Granger once shared a womb, now they will share a kidney. He is moving his focus from football to family to save his sister’s life.

Do you know what it’s like to wait on an organ donation? Do you know how many people never get the liver, the heart or the kidney they need?

Their transplant surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

In a few short days, Karen Granger, their mother will have not one, but two of her children in surgery; her son giving a kidney to save her daughter’s life.

As you can imagine, her hands are full right now preparing for surgery, making sure they both recover, and covering the bills for all three of them who won’t be able to return to school or work for the next 4-8 weeks for Brent and 12 weeks for Briana. Brent will return to school to complete his final semester with graduation in the spring.

The gift of life is priceless, but it is not free. While we celebrate new life, lets help them lighten the load and reduce the stress during their recovery.

Join us in supporting this amazing family!
