💚 This is @ellobrien, and she is in need of a life saving kidney.  To learn more about Ellie’s story and how you could become a living donor, follow @kidneyforellie 

Ellie was first diagnosed with end stage kidney failure at the age of 16, and has since faced numerous obstacles with her battle against this debilitating condition. After spending 14 months on dialysis, she received a successful kidney transplant in 2009 at the age of 17, which allowed me to live a full and vibrant life for 13 years.
 
At the age of 29 in 2022, Ellie’s transplanted kidney began to fail. This led her to receive multiple blood transfusions to manage her deteriorating condition. Due to her health history - her body has developed antibodies, dramatically reducing my chances of finding a successful donor match.
 
Finding a suitable kidney match is now extremely important. The selfless act of donating a kidney could grant Ellie the second chance at life that she needs.
 
If you feel compelled to learn more or apply to be Ellie’s donor, please follow the information on @kidneyforellie. Your kindness and generosity could make an immeasurable difference to her life and serve as a beacon of hope for her future.

🤍 If you can’t donate, sharing this post / @kidneyforellie page and encouraging others to follow Ellie’s journey could make all the difference for her future and she would be forever grateful.

Anyone in Canada can start the living donor process by calling the kidney coordinator at 1-902-473-5501! 

Tune in to Ellie’s whole story wherever you get your podcasts or watch the full episode on YouTube.
