Meet Emilee and Brooke: best friends, sisters-in-law and living donor and recipient.

When Emilee, a third-generation Polycystic Kidney Disease warrior, learned she needed a kidney transplant, Brooke immediately stepped forward and began the process of becoming a living kidney donor.

"Brooke was by my side when my nephrologist said it was time for a transplant," shared Emilee. "Brooke looked at the doctor and told her confidently that she was going to be my living kidney donor. On September 12, 2023, that is exactly what happened. Brooke became my hero that day and for the rest of our lives. I am forever grateful for her gift of life.”

On September 12, 2023, Brooke gave Emilee the gift of life through living kidney donation.

Today, Emilee and Brooke are passionate advocates for the gift of life, and their incredible story of generosity continues to inspire others.

“Hunter lived life with a deep love for the outdoors and the people around him. Whether he was fishing, hunting, four-wheeling or driving lifted trucks, Hunter felt most at home outside. He loved animals, especially his three dogs, whom he treated like family, and his many chickens, a passion he cared for with pride and joy,” shared Hunter’s mom, Shannon.

"Hunter was an identical twin and shared a special bond with his brother. He was always protective, always checking in and always putting others before himself. Becoming a father to his son, Waylon Hunter, was one of the happiest moments of his life, and he was incredibly excited for the future they would share together.

Hunter also faced a difficult battle with addiction. He fought hard but tragically lost his life to an overdose. After learning that Hunter had no brain activity, we knew Hunter would want something good to come from such heartbreak. That was when we discovered he had already made the selfless decision to register as an organ donor on his driver's license.

Through donation, Hunter's legacy became one of hope and healing. The support and compassion shown to us by We Are Sharing Hope SC throughout the process brought comfort during the darkest time of our lives.

Today, we continue to pray for the recipients whose lives were touched by Hunter's gift. Though his loss is felt deeply every single day, his generosity and love continue to live on through the lives he helped save.”

honored to share Hunter's story. Though his family continues to navigate an unimaginable loss, Hunter's decision to say "yes" to donation created hope for others and ensured his legacy continues. Through the gift of life, his compassion and generosity will never be forgotten. Read more stories like Hunter's or share your own at SharingHopeSC.org.
