Help Chyna Get a Life-Saving Kidney Transplant

Hello, my name is Chyna McGarity.

I’m a survivor of domestic violence, a lifelong advocate, a plus-size model of over 40 years, and a Board-Certified Christian Counselor. For decades, I’ve poured my heart into empowering survivors, promoting body positivity, and supporting others in their darkest seasons.

Today, I find myself in a deeply humbling place — reaching out for help on a personal and life-changing journey.

Why I Am Raising Funds

I am in urgent need of a kidney transplant. The costs tied to this process — from surgery and hospital care to post-operative medications and recovery support — are far beyond what I can manage alone.

This transplant isn’t just a procedure. It’s a chance at renewed life. It means restored energy, freedom from dialysis, and the ability to keep walking in my purpose: helping others heal.

How Funds will be used and how your generosity will directly support:

Every contribution helps cover real, life-sustaining needs during this critical journey.
