⚠️🚨 “Advocate turned patient: 25-Year-Old Lauren Shields Needs a Kidney NOW — Lauren Has Her Own Law Named After Her” 💔
Our hearts go out to Lauren Shields — a young woman who has dedicated her life to raising awareness for organ donation, and now she is the one calling for help. At just 25, Lauren finds herself in the fight of her life, seeking a living kidney donor after her second kidney transplant failed. Her kidney function is hovering around 14%, and the standard waitlist could leave her waiting years… time she simply cannot spare.
🧬 What Makes Lauren’s Case Critical
- 📚 Lauren is the namesake of New York’s “Lauren’s Law,” passed in 2012 to encourage donor registration — and now she’s living the consequences of what millions face.
- 🏥 Her second kidney, donated by her mother in 2020, is now failing — pushing her back into the spotlight as a patient instead of an advocate.
- ⏳ With kidney function at ~14%, Lauren is facing exhaustion, breathlessness and the looming threat of dialysis — “emotionally and physically draining,” she says.
- ✔️ She’s already a champion for others; now she needs one of us to become her champion.
