🚨 A Young Mother Is Fighting for Her Third Kidney — Elizabeth Gutierrez Needs a Living Donor 💔💚
A young mother in Corpus Christi, Texas, is making an emotional plea to strangers, hoping that one person will step forward and help give her another chance at life.
Elizabeth Gutierrez, 33, has already endured two kidney transplants.
Now, after years of battling kidney disease, she needs a third kidney transplant—and this time, she is desperately hoping for a living donor.
💔 A 33-Year-Old Mother Facing Another Fight
- 🩺 Elizabeth was just 16 years old when doctors discovered that her kidneys were scarred and severely damaged.
- 🧬 She was diagnosed with FSGS, a kidney disorder that can cause progressive loss of kidney function.
- 🏥 Her first two kidney transplants came from deceased donors.
- 💚 She is now hoping a living donor can be found for her third transplant.
- ⏰ She currently spends about three hours on dialysis, three days every week.
- 🏥 Last month, she endured a seven-day hospital stay that left her exhausted and frightened.
🚗 Her Father’s Desperate Message Took to the Road
After Elizabeth’s difficult hospitalization, her father decided he had to do something.
He placed a simple but powerful message on the family car:
“We are seeking a HERO to donate a kidney to my 33yr. old daughter.”
The photograph of that message was eventually shared on Facebook—and Elizabeth was stunned when she saw how far it had traveled.
📱 Calls began coming in from people interested in becoming potential donors.
She says the response has been overwhelming and that she is deeply grateful for people who are willing to consider helping someone they don’t even know.
👧 Her Daughter Is Her Greatest Motivation
For Elizabeth, this fight isn’t only about herself.
It’s about her young daughter.
❤️ She says she is doing everything she can for her daughter and wants to be there to watch her grow up.
Her family is hoping that the right living donor will finally give Elizabeth the opportunity to move forward.
