17 years ago, Dinah received a call about a potential kidney match at 1 AM. She went back to sleep but was confirmed as a match by morning, receiving her lifesaving gift later that day!

Despite health challenges from the young age of 7, Dinah remains grateful for her gift of life, which is still strong, even after chemotherapy.

She remains forever thankful to her kidney donor, whom she will never meet, and all organ and tissue donors for the impact they have on recipients everywhere! 💙💚
