The flyer, boldly declaring “OUR MOM NEEDS A KIDNEY,” caught Amanda’s attention and tugged at her heartstrings. It detailed Vonchelle’s eight-year-long quest for a kidney donor, painting a poignant picture of a mother’s struggle to stay alive for her two daughters.
“My heart broke as I thought about how desperately this woman needed a kidney and how desperately her girls needed their momma,” Amanda shared, recalling the moment she felt an overwhelming urge to help. “In the middle of that busy taekwondo studio, God was calling me to donate my kidney to a woman I had never met.”
