<div>Help Melissa Get a Life-Saving Kidney Transplant 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Hi, we’re Stephanie Dyer and Buna George, and we’re organizing this fundraiser for our cousin Melissa Felix, a strong and loving 39-year-old woman who is currently battling renal failure. Melissa urgently needs a kidney transplant — and with your help, we can give her a second chance at life.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Melissa lives in Mexicali, B.C., Mexico, where public healthcare through the “Seguro” system is underfunded and overwhelmed. The sad reality is that patients with chronic conditions like hers are often left waiting indefinitely for life-saving care. In too many cases, those without financial resources are simply allowed to fade away — not because there isn’t hope, but because there isn’t enough help.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Despite everything, Melissa continues to fight with courage, grace, and hope. She undergoes regular dialysis, manages daily exhaustion, and stays strong for her loved ones. But the cost of private care, medications, and transplant preparation is far beyond what her family can afford alone. There’s a potential donor, but costs are needed to mitigate compatibility. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>We want to be fully transparent: All funds raised will be used in Mexico at certified medical facilities, where her treatment and surgery will take place. Her partner and her mother have stepped up as her full-time caregiver, and her family has already contributed as much as they possibly can. This fundraiser is meant to bridge the financial gap that still remains — so Melissa can get the care she urgently needs.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>We are hoping to raise $25,000 USD (approximately $440,000 MXN) to help cover:


</div>


<div>	•	Lifesaving medications


</div>


<div>	•	Dialysis and pre-transplant treatment


</div>


<div>	•	Hospital and surgery costs


</div>


<div>	•	Transportation to medical specialists


</div>


<div>	•	Post-operative recovery and follow-up care


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Melissa’s dream is simple: to heal, to live, and to be here with the people she loves. With your help, we can ease her burden and give her the chance she deserves.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Please consider donating — any amount truly makes a difference. And if you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign with others means the world to us.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Melissa.


</div>

<div>Ayudemos a Melissa a recibir un trasplante de riñón 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Hola, somos Stephanie Dyer y Buna George, y estamos organizando esta campaña para nuestra prima Melissa Felix, una mujer amorosa y valiente de 39 años que está enfrentando una dura batalla contra una insuficiencia renal. Melissa necesita con urgencia un trasplante de riñón — y con tu ayuda, podemos darle una segunda oportunidad de vida.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Melissa vive en Mexicali, B.C., México, donde el sistema de salud pública conocido como el “Seguro” está lamentablemente saturado y subfinanciado. La realidad para muchas personas con enfermedades crónicas como la de ella es dolorosa: quedan en listas de espera interminables, y en muchos casos, simplemente se les deja morir por falta de recursos. No es porque no haya esperanza, sino porque no hay suficiente ayuda. Ninguna persona debería tener que enfrentar esa situación.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>A pesar de todo esto, Melissa sigue luchando con valentía, esperanza y dignidad. Se somete a diálisis regularmente, convive con un agotamiento constante, y se esfuerza por mantenerse fuerte por su familia. Sin embargo, los costos del tratamiento privado, los medicamentos y la preparación para el trasplante son mucho mayores de lo que su familia puede cubrir por sí sola. Hay una donante potencial, pero se necesitan fondos para cubrir los estudios de compatibilidad y los gastos relacionados.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Queremos ser completamente transparentes: todos los fondos recaudados se utilizarán en México, en instalaciones médicas certificadas, donde se realizará todo su tratamiento y cirugía. La mama y la pareja de Melissa se han convertido en su cuidadores de tiempo completo, y su familia ya ha aportado todo lo posible, tanto económicamente como emocionalmente. Esta campaña busca cubrir la brecha económica que aún queda por superar, para que Melissa pueda recibir la atención que necesita urgentemente.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Nuestro objetivo es recaudar $25,000 USD (approximadamente $440,000 MXN) o para ayudar a cubrir:


</div>


<div>	•	Medicamentos vitales


</div>


<div>	•	Diálisis y atención previa al trasplante


</div>


<div>	•	Gastos hospitalarios y quirúrgicos


</div>


<div>	•	Traslados a centros médicos especializados


</div>


<div>	•	Recuperación y seguimiento postoperatorio


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>El sueño de Melissa es simple: sanar, vivir y estar presente para las personas que ama. Con tu ayuda, podemos aliviar su carga y brindarle la oportunidad que tanto merece.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Por favor, considera hacer una donación — cualquier cantidad hace una gran diferencia. Y si no puedes donar, te agradecemos profundamente que compartas esta campaña con otros.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Desde el fondo del corazón, gracias por creer en Melissa.


</div>
