About K4K

In 2000, at the age of 10, Kayla St. Pierre fell ill suddenly and was rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. After months in the hospital, going through amputations and kidney failure Kayla’s adoptive father, Tony, found out that in a 1 in 100,000 chance, he was a match for a kidney donation. Tony donated his kidney to Kayla, giving her years of a healthy, functioning kidney. Now, 20 years later, Kayla’s mission is to educate on the importance of vaccinations and organ donation.
