Brittany Needs Our Help
Help Brittany find a kidney donor – and enable her to continue her mission of serving others.
About Brittany
Brittany DeSantiago was born with a rare condition called Gastroschisis. Just days after her birth, Brittany received an intestinal transplant, one of the first of its kind, saving her life.
Later on, when Brittany was just 8 years old, her family learned that she would require a multi-organ transplant to survive some additional complications. The entire El Paso community came together to raise funds to send Brittany to Miami – where she received two life-saving transplants.
Since that time, Brittany has committed herself to give back to the world, and to fulfill her purpose in the field of Mental Health.
Brittany has spent her entire adult life helping others. Since graduating from UTEP, Brittany has served as:
- A Crisis Response Specialist for the El Paso Sheriff's Department
- A Specialist for Children and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
- An Elementary School Teacher
In 2024, Brittany and her family learned that she will need a Kidney transplant to save her life. We can get Britney the care she needs – but we need your help!
