Sister Keli Shares a Story of Hope and Healing

What happens when two people who have walked through illness, uncertainty, and years of waiting find each other on the other side of survival?

 

In the latest episode of This Thing Called Life, host Andi Johnson sits down with Sister Keli and Stephanie Bates to share a conversation rooted in resilience, hope, and the life-changing power of organ donation.

 

Through honest reflections on kidney disease, dialysis, setbacks, and ultimately transplantation, Sister Keli and Stephanie open up about the challenges they faced, the strength they discovered, and the unexpected friendship that grew from their shared experiences.

 

Their stories remind us that healing is never just physical, it happens through community, connection, and the people who choose to walk beside us through life's most difficult moments.

 

What began as two individual journeys became a sisterhood built on understanding, perseverance, and a commitment to giving back so others know they are never alone.

 

Their message is simple but powerful: keep showing up, trust the process, and never lose hope.
