When Kelli learned her mother, Julie, was facing kidney failure, she didn't hesitate to offer her own kidney. After testing revealed they weren't a match, Kelli didn't give up. Instead, she chose to donate her kidney to a stranger through the Living Kidney Donor Program at UT Health Austin and Ascension Seton's Abdominal Transplant Center. Her incredible act of generosity initiated a chain of donations that brought hope to multiple families, including her own.

“A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.” – Pope Francis

Today, we give thanks for the life and legacy of Pope Francis—a faithful servant who reminded the world of the power of love and humility. His unwavering care for the poor and vulnerable, and his call to compassion, will continue to guide us.

At Ascension, we join Catholics and people of goodwill around the world in prayer and gratitude. As a Catholic health ministry, we remain committed to the healing ministry of Jesus and to carrying forward the values Pope Francis championed—kindness, justice, and care for the most vulnerable among us and all of God’s creation.

May his memory be a blessing, and may his example continue to inspire us all.
