Support Nercy Sullivan's Double Transplant Recovery

Help Support Nercy Sullivan as she recovers from a Double Organ Transplant

Enercida (“Nercy”) Sullivan is an extraordinary person who has given so much to so many others. Now, she needs our support to make sure that she and her business can thrive during her recovery from kidney and liver transplant surgery. Nercy comes from a family that has a genetic kidney disease. Eight of her fourteen siblings are either on dialysis or have needed a kidney transplant. When Nercy finally had her surgery, her kidney was functioning at 5% and her liver was failing (she only learned about her liver condition in the month before the surgery!).

Nercy is a self-made woman. Many of us know her from her amazing hair salon in New York City that she built from the ground up. Her clientele is as devoted to her as she is to them, but she will have a 4-6 month recovery period from very complex surgery.

In addition to being a loving mother to her two daughters, a focus of her life has been helping others. Nercy has raised money to educate girls in India, and she recently launched a not-for-profit to raise awareness about kidney disease and kidney donation, especially among the Latino community. As her kidney function declined, she became a certified yoga teacher. She has been a friend, an advisor, and an inspiration to so many people. Now, it’s our turn to help her through this challenging period and ensure that her business can remain strong while she recovers. Nercy must focus on her personal recovery and not have to worry that her business will not survive her absence.

Please be as generous as you can. Together, we can make a difference in the life of a person who has made a difference to so many others.

Thank you.

Apoye a Nercy Sullivan en su recuperación de un trasplante de doble órgano

Enercida (“Nercy”) Sullivan es una persona extraordinaria que ha dado muchísimo a tantas personas. Ahora, necesita nuestro apoyo para asegurar que ella y su negocio prosperen durante su recuperación de un trasplante de riñón e hígado. Nercy proviene de una familia con una enfermedad renal genética. Ocho de sus catorce hermanos están en diálisis o han necesitado un trasplante de riñón. Cuando Nercy finalmente se operó, su riñón funcionaba al 5% y su hígado estaba fallando (¡se enteró de su condición hepática un mes antes de la cirugía!).

Nercy es una mujer que se ha hecho a sí misma. Muchos la conocemos por su increíble peluquería en la ciudad de Nueva York, que construyó desde cero. Su clientela es tan devota a ella como ella a ellos, pero tendrá un período de recuperación de 4 a 6 meses tras una cirugía muy compleja.

Además de ser una madre amorosa para sus dos hijas, una de las prioridades de su vida ha sido ayudar a los demás. Nercy ha recaudado fondos para educar a niñas en la India y recientemente lanzó una organización sin fines de lucro para crear conciencia sobre la enfermedad renal y la donación de riñones, especialmente entre la comunidad latina. A medida que su función renal se deterioraba, se certificó como profesora de yoga. Ha sido amiga, consejera e inspiración para muchas personas. Ahora nos toca a nosotros ayudarla en este período difícil y asegurarnos de que su negocio se mantenga sólido mientras se recupera. Nercy debe centrarse en su recuperación personal y no preocuparse de que su negocio no sobreviva a su ausencia.

Por favor, sean lo más generosos posible. Juntos, podemos marcar la diferencia en la vida de una persona que ha marcado la diferencia en la vida de tantas otras.

Gracias.
