Stephanie McGuigan: Love, pain, and a kidney
On December 23, 2022 I donated one of my kidneys! We are both doing amazing, and our family is starting to try to live a “normal” life.

On March 3, a team of living donors, friends and family took their first steps on a journey to the top of the world.
I am very engaged in my community and have been blessed with a wide platform and have the opportunity to connect with so many inspiring people.
The next day, September 6, 1996, my dear sister, Jackie, received her new kidney — extending her life four years until her passing in 2000.
My sense of gratitude is overwhelming!
Thanks to both Yomaris as a facilitator with her donation and Skyler my direct donor for this new opportunity for my family, my community and of course for me.
