Candice was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age seven and managed her disease well throughout her adolescence. In college, however, Candice’s health drastically declined. Candice still managed to graduate, moved to her hometown, started her career and married the love of her life. In 2015, doctors informed Candice that her kidney function dropped to 30% and the following year it functioned at only 15%. She needed dialysis and a kidney transplant. Several relatives stepped up as potential living donors, but it was Candice’s husband, Gibran, who was the perfect match. In early December 2016, Candice and her husband went into surgery and recovered together during the Christmas holiday. Three weeks post-transplant, Candice was back at work with the promise she would do everything possible to take care of her gifted kidney. Her health was improved further with a pancreas transplant which resolved her lifelong battle with diabetes. “I’m the best I’ve ever been, and I have so much joy, excitement and hope because of my donors,” says Candice.
