Join Omar's Fight Against Kidney Failure

As some of you may know, Omar was unexpectedly diagnosed with End Stage Renal (Kidney) Failure in December 2024. This means that his kidneys are not working, and the ideal treatment for this is a kidney transplant.

Omar is a big brother, a son, a friend, a grandson, a nephew, a student, a lover of Roblox, a dreamer, and a fighter. Omar has displayed a level of strength and maturity that is astounding for a 13-year-old with a chronic/terminal illness.

Omar spent 2 weeks in the pediatric ICU and received emergency hemodialysis at his initial diagnosis to save his life. Since this time, we have learned that his ongoing kidney failure has subsequently caused a decline in his heart function, leading to heart failure as well. Getting a transplant is critical to reversing this and saving his life.

With this unexpected diagnosis, frequent hospital stays, multiple doctor's visits, and his daily treatment have become costly. Unfortunately, despite insurance, the medical bills are overwhelming, and I am struggling to manage them.

We are hosting an Organ Donation Awareness Event in our hometown of Piscataway on April 26, 2025, at Riverside Park from 10 am-2 pm. Please feel free to share this for those who cannot attend but would like to support us in some way.

I’d like to thank you all for your continued prayers and support during this devastating time in our lives. Your generosity means the world to us, and any support you can offer, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated.
