For the past two years, Shaneika Jiles has been fighting a battle no mother should have to face—kidney failure. Every day has been shaped by exhaustion, dialysis appointments, and the quiet heartbreak of watching life pass by while her body struggles to keep up. Yet through it all, Shaneika’s greatest strength has never wavered: her love for her five children—R’Moni, Raniesha, Camille, Ramya, and Khalil.

These children are her entire world. They are the reason she wakes up and keeps fighting, even on the days when her energy is gone and her body feels heavy. Shaneika longs to do the simple things many of us take for granted—running outside with her kids, playing games, laughing freely, and being fully present in their lives. Right now, those moments are limited by her illness, and it breaks her heart to watch from the sidelines.

After two long years of waiting and praying, a miracle has arrived. Shaneika has been blessed with a living kidney donor—her brother, Marlo Jiles—who is a perfect match. This selfless act of love offers Shaneika a real chance at life, health, and a future with her children.

However, the journey doesn’t end with the transplant alone. Shaneika must travel to Nashville, Tennessee, where she will need to remain for at least 12 weeks following the procedure for recovery and ongoing care. The cost of the surgery, travel, housing, medical expenses, and time away from work creates a financial burden no family should have to carry alone.

That is why we are asking for help—from family, friends, and the community. Every donation, every share, and every prayer brings Shaneika one step closer to the life she dreams of: a life where she can play with her children, attend their milestones, and be the present, healthy mother they deserve for years to come.

As we approach a new year, let’s come together to give this devoted mother a fresh start. Let’s help Shaneika step into 2026 with renewed health, renewed hope, and the priceless gift of time with her children.

Thank you for opening your hearts and standing with Shaneika and her family during this life-changing time
