Charlyce was diagnosed with when she was just 16 years old, so she never had a ‘normal’ high school experience, as she had to undergo dialysis 3 days a week.

Thanks to the generosity of a 17-year-old registered donor, Morgan, Charlyce received a kidney that allowed her to live a normal life.

Since her transplant, singer-songwriter Charlyce has produced many albums and books and spends a lot of her time volunteering for the cause.

Unfortunately, in 2019, Charlyce’s kidney began to fail, and she had to start treatments again.

In May 2023, Charlyce received her second kidney from a generous donor and hasn’t looked back. She serves her community through her non-profit work by providing resources, financial support, and other help to patients in failure, their families, and other kidney recipients. 💙💚

Born in New York City in 1936, Dr. Clive Callender decided at seven that he wanted to pursue a career in medicine. In 1969, Dr. Callender joined the Howard University School of Medicine faculty. In 1974, he founded the Howard University Hospital Transplant Center, a first among historically black medical schools. He became only the 3rd African American transplant surgeon in the country at that time. With the mission of enhancing organ donation awareness and reducing the number of patients awaiting transplant in minority communities, he founded the National Minority Organ Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP) in 1992. Today, Dr. Callender is still an active educator at Howard University. 💙💚

In honor of this Sunday, we're sharing this fantastic story from of two friends united by a shared history and a shared kidney! https://www.dukehealth.org/blog/donated-kidney-saves-best-friends-life

August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM) – a collaborative effort to save & improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ, eye & tissue donation. Why is NMDAM needed? 60% of national transplant list patients are from multicultural communities. The need for donation and is more pronounced in minority communities where disproportionately higher rates of , and heart disease contribute to organ failure, especially failure.

You can find resources to share and read more about NMDAM at nmag1.org, DonateLife.net, and DonateLifeNC.org. 💙💚



NMDAM is a collaborative effort of the National Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Multicultural Action Group (NMAG).

"My son, Justin, received a new heart on his 18th birthday, and we adopted Mouse post-transplant while he was in the hospital. Mouse was the first thing that made him smile post-transplant and gave him something to look forward to when he went home after being in the hospital for 3 1/2 months. Mouse was born the same day that Justin was listed for a heart transplant, so we think they were meant to be together." –Michelle. 💙💚
