This week at Yellow Door we welcome our 16th family – 16 year old Jadan and her parents – from just outside Roanoke, VA. Jadan was diagnosed late last year with End Stage Renal (kidney) failure. For the high school honor student, the diagnosis came out of the blue. She had to undergo 7 1/2 hours of dialysis daily until a new kidney could be found. Last Thursday, one was! Thankfully, Jadan’s surgery was successful, and after earning the nickname Rockstar at UVA Children’s Hospital, she hopes to soon be released “home” to their Yellow Door apartment to continue her recovery.
A sincere thanks to everyone who has made Yellow Door a success.
