I was terrified to speak my truth for so long. So scared if I admitted to the world that I was battling for my life that I lose everything. That people would see me as weak and run away. I was so scared to loose the business I have spent 13 years building.
These past few days you all have completely dismantled those fears and shown me exactly what real support is. Since April I have been fighting one of the hardest battles yet and realizing this time I can’t do it alone. Loosing both my kidneys completely crippled me for months. However, my faith is stronger than my imperfect body and I believe in the power of love.
I’m so thankful for this community that we have built together and how so many of you have shown up for me in this time of need. It’s been such a honor capturing all your beautiful memories each year and I look forward to continuing to do so once I heal.
I also want to thank the many people who have shown me such a profound out pouring of love. Though we all come from different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs this has never stopped you from seeing and treating me as a fellow human. Deserving of love, dignity and a chance at a full life.
Thank you to all who shared, reposted and supported my story to help me locate a kidney donor. No matter what it is love that will always connect us and I thank you for showing me that during this time. 🙏🏾🤎❤️
