We are beyond grateful to share that our prayers have been answered, Dylan is receiving a life-saving kidney transplant on July 8th from an incredible living donor.
After more than a year of battling end-stage kidney disease and countless hours of dialysis, Dylan is finally getting a second chance at life.

While transplant day is something we've prayed for since the very beginning, we know it's only the start of a new journey. Recovery will take time and comes with its own challenges. Dylan will have frequent appointments, medications, and a long healing process as his body adjusts to his new kidney. During this transition, he won't be able to return to normal life right away.
Although this chapter brings so much hope, it also brings financial challenges as we navigate time away from work, ongoing medical expenses, travel, medications, and everything that comes with transplant recovery.
We ask for your continued prayers. Please pray for Dylan, our incredible living donor, the transplant team, and for a smooth surgery and recovery. Your love, encouragement, and support have carried us through the darkest days, and we truly couldn't have made it this far without all of you.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us, praying with us, and walking beside us throughout this journey. We are so excited for this new chapter and for the chance to truly start living life again.

With love and gratitude,
Dylan & Kallie Brown ❤️

We wanted to share an update on Dylan’s health and the progress he’s made over the past few weeks. On June 4th, Dylan was admitted to the ICU and remained there until June 13th as he was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease. Since then, he has started dialysis and began dialysis training.

He’s undergone several procedures, including the placement of a fistula and, most recently, a catheter exchange. Despite the challenges, Dylan has remained strong and is now in home hemodialysis training. He’s expected to complete the training within the next couple of weeks and will begin doing dialysis treatments from the comfort of home.

We continue to be grateful for all of the support, encouragement, and generosity shown to Dylan during this time. Every message and donation has helped lighten the load as he adjusts to a completely new way of life. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts as he moves into this next phase of care.

Dylan is beyond grateful for all the love, support and donations.

Hi sweet friends, this is Maggie Brown, Dylan’s little sister and Kallie, his finanće.

Together as a family and community we want to ask for any support you can show Dylan as he takes on a new journey.
June 4th, Dylan was admitted into the ICU, battling severe kidney failure at only 28, he has been shocked with the news of needing dialysis and eventually a transplant. Dylan is strong, and in good spirits, ready to do what it takes to live a long happy life. But now instead of living life freely he's facing months of treatment, surgeries and unimaginable stress. God is good and we are all leaning into him now. He is very outgoing and adventurous. All he does is live life to the fullest. Hopefully we can get him back to doing all the things he loves as soon as possible. All donations will go directly to all medical expenses, bills, surgeries, hospital stays etc. Anything helps and please keep him in your prayers it means the world to us.

Thank you in advance for all the love and support for Dylan & our family.
