Ali’s Story

  • Ali was diagnosed with Polycystic kidney disease when she was only 2 years old. She was able to stay off dialysis until she needed her first transplant in 1990 when Ali was 8 and her kidney failed. This transplant lasted about 9 months only when Ali had to go on dialysis for five years.

    When Ali turned 13 in 1995 she was gifted with another transplant and this one lasted for about 7 months. Then Ali needed to go on dialysis to stay alive, until she went through another transplant in 2000. This is the kidney that she currently has – and fortunately it’ s been over 5 years and Ali has continued on with her schooling and is planning for an acting and writing career.

    Ali is planning to become an actor and playwright and is studying to achieve her lifelong dreams. Ali is a miracle story that highlights the truly miraculous gifts that she has received through the unselfish generosity of others who chose to give the gifts of life to others by becoming organ donors.

    Please choose to become an organ donor and remember to speak to your family about your choice. Help turn the circumstance of life into a miracle.
