Help Yuliza and Marcela Through Recovery

Hi, my name is Maira Schuster, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my brave 23-year-old niece, Yuliza Avila, who is currently battling complete kidney failure. She’s undergoing dialysis multiple times a week just to stay alive, but despite everything, she continues to fight with grace and grit.

Yuliza is not only facing a life-threatening health crisis, she’s also working part-time and pushing forward with her college education. Her resilience is nothing short of inspiring. We are so proud of her determination to build a future, even while navigating the immense physical and emotional toll of her condition.

Thankfully, we’ve received a miracle: her aunt, Marcela Avila, is a match and has bravely stepped forward to donate her kidney. Marcela is a single mother of three and the sole provider for her family. Her decision to undergo surgery is an extraordinary act of love, but it also means time away from work and added financial strain during recovery.

We’re raising $10,000.00 to help cover Marcela and Yuliza’s:
• Recovery and lost income
• Household support while they heal
• Transportation and transplant-related medical costs

Every donation, share, and kind word bring us closer to giving Yuliza a second chance at life and helping Marcela recover with peace of mind. Your support means the world to our family.

Thank you for being part of this journey. You’re helping make a miracle possible.
