Kidney 4 Kylie Update ,
We would like to thank everyone who has gone—or is currently going—through the process of determining whether they may be a match for Kylie. The incredible support and generosity shown by family, friends, and complete strangers has been truly unmatched.
A special thank-you goes to Munzing Media for mentioning Kylie during their sports broadcasts and helping raise awareness of her need for a kidney. Your support has helped share her story with an even wider community, and we are incredibly grateful.
At this time, a direct match has not been found, and the search continues. Please keep sharing Kylie’s story and her need for a living kidney donor. Every share helps us reach more people and brings us one step closer to finding the kidney she needs.
We are also grateful to share some encouraging news: Kylie has received a voucher through the National Kidney Registry, and it has now been activated. This allows her transplant team to search nationwide for a compatible donor.
The voucher comes through the Paired Exchange Program, in which someone donates a kidney to another recipient, allowing Kylie to receive a compatible kidney from another donor in the exchange.
To the incredibly selfless person who made this possible—whoever you are—thank you. No words can fully express our gratitude for the extraordinary gift you have given Kylie and our family.
Throughout this journey, Kylie has continued to show incredible strength and determination. While battling end-stage renal failure, she graduated from college, continued teaching her “littles” in the classroom, and wrapped up her college hockey career.
With a transplant hopefully now in sight, Kylie’s quality of life could improve dramatically, and her future looks incredibly bright. That hope is possible because of the amazing community that has supported her every step of the way.
The search continues, and so does our hope. Please continue to share.
