Episode Details

Calgary family seeks living kidney donor for eight-year-old daughter Brianna, who reached kidney failure nine months after chronic kidney disease diagnosis. The condition is genetic, so parents and sister cannot donate. Doctors prefer a living donor as those kidneys last longer. Brianna now faces weekly blood work, home injections, and a strict diet. Her sister Brooke received the same diagnosis, turning a tough situation into a double challenge. The family hopes to get both girls back to their passions like synchronized swimming, dancing, and horseback riding after a transplant. Early detection and paired donation programs are crucial, according to Kidney Foundation leaders.
