A Heartfelt Request: Help Save a Loving Father and Husband

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Strangers,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Tamara, and I am reaching out to you with a humble and urgent request. My husband, Brian (also likes to go by BT), is in desperate need of a kidney transplant to survive. He is a loving father to our two very young daughters, Ayanna and Savanna, who are in need of their dad every single day.

For the past 20 years, Brian has been battling kidney failure, and his condition has reached a critical point where a transplant is his only hope for survival. Despite his strength and resilience, this is a challenge he cannot face alone. We are now turning to the kindness and generosity of others in hopes of finding a living kidney donor who could offer him the gift of life.

If you or someone you know might be able to consider donating a kidney to my husband, it would mean everything to us. The process is safe for the donor, and our medical team at NYU Langone will provide all the necessary information and support for those who are interested. A living donor can help my husband regain his health and provide our family with the future we desperately hope for.

Brian is more than just a patient — he is a devoted father, a loving husband, and a cherished friend. Our daughters are still so young (2.5 and 1 years old) and need their dad, not just to see them grow, but to share in all the moments that make life so precious. A kidney transplant would give them the father they deserve and the opportunity for our family to be whole again.

If you are willing to help or simply want more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly or the transplant center through our website https://Kidney4BT.com. Any form of support — whether it’s being our kidney donor, a financial donation, spreading the word, or keeping us in your thoughts — is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for your consideration. We are forever grateful for the kindness and compassion of people like you.

With heartfelt thanks,
The Thomas Family
Brian, Tamara, Ayanna and Savanna
