Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

Today, I reach out with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit to share the story of my dear friend Linda, who is bravely facing one of the toughest challenges of her life. Linda has been diagnosed with kidney disease and is urgently in need of a kidney transplant. We are overjoyed to announce that she has finally received a date for her second transplant, scheduled for October 1st.

Linda's journey has been a testament to resilience and love. Her first kidney transplant took place on April 7, 1993, when her father made the ultimate sacrifice, donating one of his kidneys to give her a new lease on life. For years, that gift allowed her to thrive, but 2020 brought an unforeseen storm. COVID-19 not only disrupted her life but also took a toll on her kidneys, leading her back to this difficult moment.

For the past four years, Linda has faced an uphill battle filled with medical challenges, yet she has shown an incredible strength that inspires everyone around her. Her unwavering faith and love for God have been her guiding light, reminding us all of the power of hope, even in the darkest times.

Now, as she prepares for this critical surgery, Linda needs our support more than ever. While she fights for her health, the financial strain of medical expenses looms large. She will be unable to work for an extended period, and we want to ensure she can focus solely on her recovery, free from the worry of bills piling up.

We are aiming to raise $125,000 to help cover:

Medical bills not covered by insurance

Prescription medications

Daily living expenses during her recovery

Travel costs for medical appointments

Linda has touched the lives of countless people with her kindness, generosity, and spirit. Now, it’s our turn to give back to her. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in her journey toward healing.

I invite you to join us in this effort. Share Linda's story, donate if you can, and help us spread the word. Together, we can help lift the weight off her shoulders, allowing her to focus on what truly matters: her health and her future.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your compassion and support mean the world.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Billye Blansett and Billye Briones
