Support Janae's Recovery: New Heart & Kidney
Donation protected
Hello Everyone!!! My name is Janae and I am 30 years old. What some of you may not know is that in 2019 I was diagnosed with kidney failure which then affected my heart. My heart was functioning at 20% and below! Doctors believe this happened as a result from complications with preeclampsia during my pregnancy in 2017. Shortly after I gave birth, I was naive and thought hey I'm no longer pregnant so I no longer have high blood pressure. That was not the case and I went two years without managing my blood pressure until it took a toll on my body. Fast forward I began dialysis, taking medication to support my heart, even got a defibrillator put in. This was my life over the next 5 years, it was challenging but it's what I had to do! Towards the end of 2023, I went through evaluation for transplant, which was a long tedious process but I got through it and fortunately I was listed! I was on the transplant list maybe less than a year and a half. On January 27,2025 as I was leaving out to take my son to school and head to work I got the call that they found a match! I was speechless and emotions were all over the place. I had to immediately head to the hospital. On January 29, 2025 was when I had two life changing surgeries, first the heart transplant which took about 6-7 hours and then the kidney transplant shortly after which was about 2-3 hours. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital and each day I made good progress. Now I am home to continue my recovery and begin my new journey. I am forever blessed and grateful that I was given a second chance! I would like to ask for your kind donations and give what you can to help with my recovery. Your donations will help with medical expenses, frequent trips back and forth from MD to VA as well as other living expenses. Again I appreciate whatever you can give and I thank you all!!! #❤️warrior #kidneywarrior
