DOUBLE TRAGEDY – MOTHER AND SON IN LAW FROM CA NEED A LIVING KIDNEY DONOR!

🚨 Double Tragedy: Mother and Son-in-Law Both Face Life-Threatening Kidney Failure — Can a Donor Save Two Lives? 💔🧬

A heartbreaking and extraordinary story is unfolding in Lemoore, California — a family facing a battle no one should fight alone. Not just one beloved family member… but two are racing against time for a life-saving kidney transplant. 

⚠️ SHOCKING SITUATION — Two Lives on the Line

• 🧬 Mother and Son-in-Law Both in Crisis: 60-year-old Charlotte Bass and her 36-year-old son-in-law Matt Garcia were both diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure just a year apart. 
• 🩸 Blood Type O Required: Both need kidneys and can only receive transplants from donors with O blood type — the most common yet one of the hardest to match in kidney transplant lists. 
• ⏳ Long Waits Loom: Local experts say patients with type O often face the longest waiting times for compatible organs. It could be years before a match appears on the standard donor list — time they may not have. 
• 🧪 No Compatible Family Donors: Neither Charlotte nor Matt has a family donor who can give them a kidney, which makes their situation all the more urgent and rare. 
• 🌟 Hope Amid Desperation: In heartfelt moments caught on camera, Matt told Charlotte, “Thank you so much,” and she replied, “I couldn’t do it without you.” Their bond has now become a symbol of hope and resilience as they fight together. 

💔 THEIR DREAMS AND WHY IT MATTERS

• 🏡 Matt Garcia, age 36: Diagnosed in 2024 due to high blood pressure and genetics, Matt has already started dialysis and says a transplant would be a miracle and a game-changer — especially as a father of young children with so much life left to live. 
• 👩‍🌾 Charlotte Bass, age 60: Diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease in 2025, Charlotte has been fighting to stay active — quilting, sewing, traveling, even driving a tractor — all while living with failing kidneys. A transplant would let her keep living life to the fullest with her five children and twelve grandchildren.
