Thoughts for the Day, February 11, 2026: A special request for a special person
This is not my normal blog. Today I am reaching out to you for help for my niece Kacy Biggs-Daly, who has been dealt a bad hand.
Kacy, 43-years old, is a wife, a mother and a grandmother. Unfortunately, Kacy has a rare genetic condition called polycystic kidney disease which has no cure.
Kacy has handled her condition with amazing strength and grace. Her health and ability to be herself and to enjoy life are becoming severely impacted by the effects of disease. She has been listed on the University of Michigan cadaver donor transplant list for nearly three years. Her best chances for living a normal life are through a successful live donor transplant.
Until she receives a successful kidney transplant, Kacy’s treatment options will be dialysis treatments 3-4 times per week
I am asking for your help. Kacy and her family have been working with the University of Michigan Living Donor Outreach Program to assist with the search for a live donor. I have attached the information needed by anyone who is interested in taking the next steps in helping Kacy find a live donor.
The next steps can be
1. Reach out to others on Kacy’s behalf
2. Share this message with others
3. Contact the Brandon Michigan Living Donor Transplant Outreach Program for more information about becoming an organ donor.
4. Sign up for testing to become a live donor by contacting the Michigan Living Donor Outreach Program
If you do not live in Michigan, you can still help. The staff at Michigan Donor Outreach Program have answers on how you can help.
