Benefit Held For Flomaton Baby That Needs Kidney Transplant

June 14, 2009

brake10.jpgA benefit was held Saturday for a 11-month old Flomaton girl with no kidneys that needs a kidney transplant.

Hadyn Allyssa Brake was born with congenital nephrotic syndrome, a chronic kidney disease. In February, doctors were forced to remove both of her kidneys, and now she needs a kidney transplant by her first birthday on July 28.

Her mom and dad, Amanda and Brandon Brake, need $20,000 for Hadyn’s kidney transplant. For now, she is on dialysis 12 hours a day every day.

On Saturday, Davita Dialysis in Atmore held “Hadyn Brake Day” to help the little girl and her family.

Donations can abe made to the “Hadyn Kidney Fund” at the Bank Trust in Brewton, Ala, or call Sonya Higdon at the Atmore Dialysis Center at (251) 368-5593 for information.

    I don’t know if anyone has checked into the Presbytrian Hospital in Pittsburgh PA. They are famous for all the transplants they do! They got a heart for my brother when he was 45. And they even have a house for the parents to live in with their baby. It is a wonderful place! Please check it out! It can’t hurt. When my brother was in the Presby Hospital, there were people from all over the United States there waiting for different transplants…hearts, lungs, and I don’t remember them all! This has been well over 10 years ago! Just look them up and give them a call! They can supply you with the information you need! They are wonderful there also! I wish you all the best!

    My heart goes out to this precious little girl, and her family. Please donate to help this famly, during this trying time in their life. I dont have much, but I will give to help this precious angel. I know that God is in control, and she will be blessed.

    I got to meet this precious little girl yesterday. It broke my heart to know that she needs a kidney and that she has to have that kind of money, when so many others get FREE health care and don’t really need it.

    David,
    No there isn’t a “law” in Florida making this free,in fact the state of Florida has NOTHING to help this couple. They are orginally from McDavid and moved to Flomaton because the State of Florida did not offer ANY medical assistance to them. The state of Alabama has programs to assist with medical care, but nothing that will cover the entire surgery expense.

  10. david leroy moorer on June 10th, 2009 8:14 pm

    Wasn’t there a law pass in Florida today making it free. I may be wrong, but
    you can check channel 3 web site.

    This is so sad. May God be with this family. The article did not say, do they have a donor already?

  12. mommy2beautifulgirls on June 10th, 2009 12:13 pm

    this little girl needs community support so she can live,i don’t have finances to help raise the money,but i really hope god answers this families needs and everything goes well..

  13. Sherry Carway on June 10th, 2009 11:36 am

    God bless your little angel. I know she will recieve her surgery. God is the answer to all your questions.

    This little girl needs everyone’s support and prayers. I don’t have much, and I can’t get to Atmore on Saturday, but I’m going to do my best to at least donate some money to the account at the bank.

    Let’s all pull together and see if we can’t make a difference in this little one’s future. . . .(which is something she won’t have if she doesn’t get this transplant.)
