Kamryn

She was born with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease,(ARPKD). This disease enlarged her kidneys to adult size with multiple cysts and reduced their function. As a result of the enlarged kidneys, her lungs were unable to fully expand and develop, which led to respiratory failure soon after birth.

After being on peritoneal dialysis and on team no kidneys until the age of 17 months, she received a new lease on life, a kidney from her dad! Unfortunately, soon after transplant she was diagnosed with Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) due to the immunosuppressants but is currently in remission! Most recently, Kamryn was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy which we are taking day by day together.

Today, Kamryn is a 5-year-old who is in Kindergarten! She absolutely loves animals, especially cats and her husky, Gracin! You’ll catch her singing songs, knowing every lyric, dancing around everywhere and being so active and adventurous. Being outside or swimming makes her the happiest. She enjoys being creative, playing doctor or veterinarian with her babies and stuffies. She has quite the imagination and is always up to something, mainly being silly and trying to make her big sister, Kendall, laugh.

Kam lights up any room she walks into with her bright smile and her infectious laugh. She truly has such a love for life and radiates that joy to everyone she meets!

We’re so excited to take Kamryn and her family to Disney World with the help of Kroger, Planet Fitness, Savvy Sliders, Masco, Emagine Theatres, Glenlore Trails, The Village of Rochester Hills, Kinetyc and our charitable partner, Angels of Hope!
