Friends, family, and anyone whose heart this reaches — we need your help. 🙏
Last March, our world changed forever. My wife, Lakshmila ("Mila") , was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure. She's 42. A devoted mother to our 6-year-old daughter — the little miracle we waited 12 years for. The heart of our home here in Chester County, PA.
Since her diagnosis, Mila has been living through relentless dialysis sessions, hospital stays, and exhaustion most people can't imagine. She fights every single day — for our daughter, for me, for the life we built together. But dialysis isn't a cure. A living-donor kidney transplant is her best hope for a longer, healthier life.
We are searching for a living kidney donor with O Positive (O+) blood type.
If you are generally healthy, between the ages of 21 and 70, and feel even a small pull to learn more — please consider getting screened. There is no obligation, no cost to you, and the conversation is completely confidential.

Living donors are protected. Through the National Kidney Registry, donors receive:
Lost wage reimbursement
Travel, lodging, and dependent/pet care reimbursement
Kidney prioritization (if you ever need one in the future)
Complication protection
Legal support against discrimination
Donor mentors to guide you through the process
You will not be financially burdened for saying yes.
Even if donating isn't right for you — please share this post. One share could reach the person who saves Mila's life. One conversation could be the miracle our family has been praying for.
Thank you, with all of our hearts. 💙
— John, Mila, and our little girl
