For a young patient facing kidney failure and systemic roadblocks in every direction, the odds were stacked against her. “One of the big problems we face with organ failure is that the road to transplant is very long and it basically doesn’t exist if you don’t have status in this country,” said Dr. Melanie Menning. Her team at OneWorld knew they’d have to move quickly to find solutions and tap into a network of support. Find out what happened by clicking the link in our bio. https://bit.ly/4171GOq
