Elesia

At just 14 years old, Elesia should be focused on making memories with friends, playing sports, and dreaming about her future. Instead, she and her family are facing the heartbreaking reality of kidney disease. One of the cruelest parts of this illness is that it is often invisible. Behind Elesia's beautiful smile is a young girl who is much sicker than the world can see, and a family desperately hoping someone will recognize her need. Elesia has a lifetime of dreams ahead of her, but she needs a living kidney donor to help make them possible. Her illness may be invisible, but her need is real. Please take a moment to see Elesia, hear her story, and consider whether you could be the one to change her life.
