Just over a year ago 5 year old Katherine’s world changed when she fell ill. Her mom and dad Dianne and Wesley could never have predicted what the family would go through following the 3rd of May 2025.

Thanks to a kidney donation little Kathy is a happy, dancing girl again. One donor can save seven lives and you can register to become one with the Organ Donor Foundation here.
