Help Tarik Griffin Get a Life-Saving Kidney

URGENT: Our Dad Needs a Kidney

Hi everyone,

As the oldest daughter of Tarik Griffin Sr., I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but also with hope. My father—currently 51 years old, turning 52 this August—has always been the rock of our family. A protector, a provider, and truly our hero. He’s poured so much love and strength into raising me and my younger siblings, Tarik Jr. and Kristina.

In April 2023, just two weeks before I graduated from Nursing School, our lives changed forever. My Dad was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and immediately began dialysis. Since then, he’s been faithfully attending treatments every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 AM, showing up with strength and grace every step of the way.

Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

Our Dad is in urgent need of a kidney transplant, He’s not only an amazing father, but also a proud Pawpaw to two beautiful grandbabies who absolutely adore him—and he has more grandbabies to come. He deserves the chance to be here for their birthdays, milestones, laughs, and hugs.

As you can imagine this has caused financial hardship. If you or someone you know would consider becoming a living kidney donor, or if you’d like to support us by donating to our GoFundMe, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Sharing this post could help us reach the person who will give our Dad a second chance at life.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, support, and love.
