Help Chyna Receive a Life-Saving Kidney Transplant

Hello, my name is **Chyna McGarity**.

I’m a survivor of domestic violence, a lifelong advocate, a Board-Certified Christian Counselor, and a plus-size model of over 40 years. For decades, I’ve dedicated my life to uplifting others — empowering survivors, promoting self-worth, and walking alongside people during some of their hardest seasons.

Today, I’m in a humbling position — **asking for help for myself**.

Why I’m Asking for Support

I am living with **Stage 5 kidney disease** and am in urgent need of a **kidney transplant**.

This transplant represents more than a medical procedure. It is my opportunity to regain strength, live free from dialysis, and continue the work God has called me to do — serving and supporting others.

While I am fighting with faith and determination, the financial burden of transplantation and recovery is more than I can carry alone.
