Not All Heroes Wear Capes—Some Give Kidneys.

For the past four and a half years, my daughter Mya has spent ten hours every single night hooked up to a dialysis machine. While most young adults were building their futures, Mya was fighting to survive—missing out on sleepovers, trips, and even simple moments of freedom. Her life revolved around doctors, hospitals, and the uncertainty of when she’d finally get a second chance.

That chance has finally come.

Jesse, her boyfriend, is donating his kidney to save Mya’s life. His selfless decision means Mya can finally step away from the machine that has controlled her for so long. But the road to recovery is long, and they both need support.

This fundraiser will help cover:

Post-transplant medications that Mya will need to prevent rejection and keep her new kidney healthy.

Time off work for Jesse as he recovers from major surgery.

Any unexpected medical or living expenses during their healing process.

This isn’t just about helping Mya and Jesse recover—it’s about giving them a solid foundation for the next chapter of their lives. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in ensuring they can heal without financial stress.

If you can’t donate, sharing this means the world. Thank you for being part of their journey—your support is helping Mya finally move from surviving to truly living.
