Piper and Steph: Two Hearts, One Kidney

Erie, CO

Story

“One act of kindness won’t change the world, but it may change one person's world.” Hey friends! We are over the moon to announce that Piper Whiteley has found a kidney!!! And the best part? It’s from Steph, a mom in her daughter’s class, who turns out to be the perfect match! We are beyond grateful and completely overwhelmed with joy. This is truly a miracle, and we can’t wait to love on these two families! Surgery has been scheduled for May 7th at UC Health. You can learn more about Piper's journey here: https://www.kidneyforpiperjane.com/. Each family will have unique needs post surgery and greatly appreciates all the amazing support already shown and continuing to be shown. This has all happened quickly from time they found Steph to surgery date so its going to take a village!!! We have also set up a gofundme to help support them as they heal: https://gofund.me/38962869 We have setup a MealTrain for the Paciottis. For any meals for Steph’s family (gluten free), please drop them off at her front doorstep—send Steph a quick text to let her know the meal is in the cooler. (858) 335-2747. DoorDash gift cards are also a great option, as well as gift cards or meals from some local restaurants (see special note below). Steph's email to receive gift cards is: stephaniepaciotti@gmail.com. Also, a few childcare options have been setup for the Paciotti girls to help burn off some of their energy when school is out:)! See calendar for possible play date availability. If you’re a family that has kids who know the Paciotti girlies they would love to hang 💕. While Piper is focusing on recovery, she can only accept grocery cards and food delivery (no home-cooked meals right now). If you’re able to contribute an WholeFoods (no contact delivery through Amazon) or DoorDash gift card, it’ll be such a huge help and give her one less thing to worry about. Piper's email to receive gift cards is: pipermccord@gmail.com Thanks so much for pitching in, and for showing Piper and Steph all your love!
