Raising awareness of the critical need for organ transplant donors through public education and advocating for donors and their families

On Friday, October 21, 2016 over 280 guests took The Incredible Journey with The Living Bank, as we celebrated the lives of those who have given and those who have received the life-saving gift of organ donation.

Chairs, Ileana Treviño, daughters Mari Treviño, and Margot Treviño Rosson’s, lives were forever altered when husband and father, Michael Treviño, received a liver transplant in November 2014. Our honoree for this special evening was Kayla Lehmann, kidney transplant recipient and Executive Director of Nora’s Home for transplant patients and their families.

Many living organ donors and transplant recipients attended with their families celebrating life together. The Texas Medical Center transplant community came out in support, including CHI St. Luke’s Baylor, Houston Methodist, The John L. Hern Foundation, LifeGift, National Kidney Foundation, Nora’s Home, Memorial Hermann and Texas Children’s Hospital.

HONOREE, KAYLA LEHMANN Kayla Lehmann, most notably, a wife, mother, grandmother, friend and colleague is of immeasurable importance to those who know her, both personally and professionally.

Kayla is the recipient of a life-saving kidney transplant! She has always given herself in service as a volunteer and has been active in the Houston community for over twenty years, supporting many non-profit organizations in addition to her professional career.

Following her kidney transplant in 2010 at Houston Methodist, Kayla naturally gravitated to serving within the transplant center, bringing support and encouragement to others awaiting transplant and to fellow transplant patients as they returned to clinic for post-transplant treatment. She saw the need for those who were not fortunate enough to be close to the Texas Medical Center during their pre and post-operative treatments both from the standpoint of lodging but also the necessary care needed during the recipient’s stay.

In 2012, before there was brick and mortar, she took a step of faith and accepted the position of Executive Director of Nora’s Home, working to help the organ transplant community and to make Nora’s Home for transplant patients and their families, a reality. She is now blazing ahead, building phase two, and is already envisioning phase three of Nora’s Home into existence.

Kayla works tirelessly on the endeavors she undertakes in life and does so with grace, humility and a generous spirit.

CHARLES ROSSON

CARSON KAINER

On October 22, 2015 Charles Rosson’s father, Larry Rosson, received his living kidney transplant from an unknown altruistic donor. Eight days later, on October 30, 2015, his mother Beverly donated her kidney to an unknown recipient in Arizona, 1,700 miles away. Their surgeries were performed at the Mayo Clinic-Rochester.

On September 20, 2006 Carson Kainer received a kidney transplant. His father, Ron Kainer, was Carson’s living donor. The surgeries were performed at Texas Children’s Hospital.

SHAHZAD BASHIR On September 27, 2014 Shahzad Bashir received a liver transplant. The surgery was performed at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Shahzad’s experience has fervently compelled him to reach out to the Muslim community and dispel misinformation about organ donation.

Hispanic Transplant Symposium (HTS)

The Power of Life: Education and Outreach Program Commencing in June 2015, The Power of Life, Education and Outreach Program has reached over 23,465 people, and over 1,376 have known of someone in need of a kidney transplant, in search of living kidney donor, or received living kidney donation resources to become a living kidney donor.

Community partners including the National Kidney Foundation, Mexican Consulate, El Centro de Corazon, Manos Abiertas, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Texas Gulf Coast Community Healthcare Workers (CHW)/Promotores Association, The Exchange Club of Houston, and the American Diabetes Association have been an integral part of helping us spread the word and raise awareness about living kidney donation.

Dr. Juan C. Caicedo, director of the Hispanic Transplant Program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH), gave the keynote address. The program is the only one of its kind in the United States, to improve access to care and increase patient education for Hispanic patients in need of an organ transplant.

and sometimes uncertain, journey a family takes when a loved one needs a life-saving transplant.

SHAWN GUARISCO AND WIFE, KRISTIN, WERE DISMAYED WHEN, AT THE AGE OF 30, HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH KIDNEY DISEASE. THIS IS THEIR STORY. A few weeks after the birth of their first child, daughter Rylee, in February 2013, Shawn discovered his blood pressure was abnormally high. Concerned, he went to a cardiologist and tests were run. The results indicated that his heart was fine but a significant amount of protein was spilling into his urine which was an indication of kidney disease.

Shawn’s kidneys were only functioning at 20%. He was added to the national transplant waiting list with a prominent transplant center in the Texas Medical Center. His doctor told him it would be at least a four year wait for a deceased donor kidney. By February 2014 Shawn went into kidney failure with 8% kidney function. A peritoneal catheter was placed in his abdomen to start dialysis. His new reality was administering dialysis treatments nine hours every night instead of doing hemodialysis three days a week at a dialysis clinic. This allowed him more time with his family. Through his fatigue and treatments, Shawn still continued to work full-time as a Senior Manager with Deloitte Tax, LLP in Houston, Texas.

Shawn’s doctor discussed living kidney donation as an alternative to waiting years for a deceased donor kidney. Family and friends came forward to be tested but a match was not found. Already depressed, Shawn’s beloved father passed away unexpectedly on July 5, 2014. Shawn’s grief led him into a deeper state of depression and hopelessness.

Determined to help her husband, wife Kristin, started a living kidney donor campaign on social media to raise awareness in hopes of finding a living kidney donor for Shawn. Through a work colleague, Shawn was introduced to The Living Bank in August 2014. The Living Bank created an eBulletin and the Houston Chapter of the Texas Society of CPAs graciously agreed to eBlast it to their 8,000+ members. Within minutes Shawn received an email! Charlie, a young professional who barely knew Shawn, was willing to be tested to donate his kidney. Charlie was not a match but that did not deter him! He agreed to enroll in a kidney exchange program. For the next year and a half Charlie and Shawn waited, to no avail. During this time, Shawn and Kristin received the wonderful news that they were expecting their second child. Son, Brody, was born in May of 2015. Finally a glimpse of hope for their family.

A few weeks before Thanksgiving 2015 Shawn was told about the Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital in San Antonio, the largest living kidney transplant program in the nation! Every year Shawn and his family drive to Kerrville to see extended family. Knowing Kerrville was only 70 miles from San Antonio, Shawn took the opportunity to go to San Antonio and be tested. Within a week he received confirmation that he had been accepted into their program.

Back in Houston and weeks before Christmas, an old classmate of Shawn’s, Lorelei, decided she too wanted to be tested; she was a match! Lots of tears and

celebration followed. However, days later Shawn was notified by the Houston transplant center that he had an antibody that could result in an unsuccessful transplant. In the midst of their great disappointment there was still hope! Fortunately, Lorelei was a type O, allowing her to donate to any recipient. A paired kidney exchange would be their best option and because of her blood type, Shawn was assured he would be transplanted within weeks.

The next month was a roller coaster. After two failed attempts for a paired kidney exchange, hope was dwindling that a transplant would occur in Houston. With no time to waste Lorelei sought after the Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital in San Antonio. She was tested and accepted into the exchange program.

Calendar Year Grantors T H A N K YO U S O M U C H F O R YO U R S U P P O R T

This was great news for Shawn. Dr. Adam Bingaman, head of transplant, reassured him that this was his time. After waiting for three long years Shawn was transplanted within a month! On March 30, 2016 Shawn received his new kidney! Words cannot express the gratitude Shawn and his family feel for the Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital doctors, nurses and staff. Their team cared for Shawn, his family and Lorelei with great compassion.

Nothing would be possible without Shawn’s selfless living donors; Charlie, who barely knew Shawn but was willing to sacrifice so much; Lorelei, who gave her kidney to a total stranger in the donor exchange program; and to Shawn’s actual living kidney donor, his perfect match, Jennifer. Lorelei spent hours traveling, days testing, weeks away from her children, and had her first surgery to save Shawn’s life. Lorelei and Jennifer, both mothers to three children, were willing to save a life by participating in a paired kidney exchange program. Each of these donors are HEROs; amazing people who gave the gift of life without asking for anything in return.

TRANSPLANT HAS FOREVER ALTERED THEIR LIVES, LEAVING THE INDELIBLE MARK OF GRATITUDE ON THEIR HEARTS. SHAWN REMAINED FAITHFUL, RELYING ON GOD, HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR SUPPORT. IT HAS NOW BEEN EIGHT MONTHS SINCE HIS TRANSPLANT AND SHAWN CONTINUES TO MARVEL AT HIS SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE!
