HELP BABY ADORE FIGHT ARPKD

On September 5, 2025, our precious baby girl Adore entered the world. She is now 5 weeks old, yet she is already facing a battle most of us could never imagine. Adore was born with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Disease (ARPKD), a rare (1 in 25,000) condition that has caused her kidneys to be severely enlarged, already the size of an adult's, with cysts on them. At just five weeks old, she has already undergone a unilateral nephrectomy due to her large kidneys compressing the other organs in her abdominal cavity and will possibly need another nephrectomy to remove the other kidney. She will need dialysis in the very near future and eventually a kidney transplant. Our hearts are broken to see her endure so much at the very start of her life, but we are holding onto faith and hope for her future.

The medical journey ahead will be long and difficult, with countless hospital stays, procedures, and surgeries. Most recently, we learned that Adore will need to be transferred to a hospital in another state that can better manage her rare diagnosis. We are asking for your love, prayers, and financial support to help us provide Adore with the care she desperately needs. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward her medical expenses, ongoing treatments, and the support of our family during this critical time.

We know not everyone can give financially, and that's okay. Sharing Adore's story, keeping her in your prayers, and spreading awareness about ARPKD means the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts,

we thank you for standing with us and our sweet baby girl as she fights through this diagnosis.

With Gratitude,

The Marshall/Gentle Family.
