Meet Quin, Tonya and Avery.

Quin is an outgoing, fun-loving, bright, "mighty" fourteen-year-old who loves playing football, spending time with friends and adores her puppies. Quin has been bravely living with Chronic Kidney Disease since she was six years old. We knew Quin would need a kidney transplant one day, and now that time has come.

Tonya is Quin's amazing mom. Tonya is an intelligent, adventurous, fierce single mother and is a brilliant role model to her two daughters. As her mom, Tonya is relieved to be a match and be able to offer Quin one of her kidneys - a life-saving gift that will change both their lives.

And Avery, Quin's older sister and Tonya's eldest daughter, has shown maturity beyond her years and continues to rise to the challenge and make sacrifices to support her mom and sister. To say these three young women are strong, resilient, and brave would be an understatement.

But it will take a village of support to help them on their journey to health and recovery. Family and friends are rallying around them to ensure they have everything they need for "Operation Kidney Drop".

We humbly ask for your consideration in donating to this beautiful family. There are a lot of known and unknown costs associated with kidney donation and transplant recovery, such as costly medications not covered by insurance, loss of income for the family, ongoing therapies, transportation and parking costs related to appointments and ongoing living expenses. All generously donated proceeds will go directly toward costs associated with Quin and Tonya's surgery and recovery.
