🚨 “Her Left Kidney Is Dead. Her Right Is Crumbling. Nashville Woman Pleads for Kidney Donor — Time Is Running Out!” 💔
This is more than a health story — it’s a race for life.
Rema Tanner, a beloved woman from Nashville, TN, is facing an urgent and frightening medical crisis: she has Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, one kidney at 0% function, and the other rapidly failing. Without a kidney transplant, she is headed for dialysis — a life-shortening treatment she is desperate to avoid.
⚠️ What You Should Know
- 🧬 In July 2024, Rema was diagnosed with severe CKD and underlying kidney stone disease that went undetected for decades — the damage was already done.
- 🚨 Her left kidney has 0% function and her right is badly compromised, leaving her with little time before dialysis becomes unavoidable.
- 💉 Despite eight surgeries over 10 months to remove stones and repair damage, her condition continues to worsen.
- 🩺 She has lost 35 pounds, endured severe pain and debilitating side effects from medications, and must now follow a strict kidney-friendly diet.
- 💔 Rema had to stop working and put her life on hold just to focus on surviving — not living.
🙏 Her Hope — And How You Can Help
Rema’s only realistic chance to regain health and avoid dialysis is a living donor kidney transplant. She has no immediate family able to donate, and is asking friends, neighbors, and compassionate strangers to consider stepping forward.
📌 You are eligible to donate if you are healthy and have blood type A or O.
Even if you’re not a direct match, you can still help through a paired exchange program, which expands the chances of finding the right donor.

🧠 Why This Matters Now
Dialysis is a demanding, life-altering treatment that can significantly shorten life expectancy and diminish quality of life. A living donor transplant not only saves lives but often gives recipients years — decades — of restored health and independence, far beyond what long waits on the deceased-donor list can offer.
