    Andrea Lapierre Battista
​    Living Donor Advocate

      I am a wife and mom of 3 young children and on April 29, 2015 I donated my kidney to a 16 year         old boy named Michael who I never knew. When I found out he was my friend's nephew I asked         her how I could help. After several tests, I found out I was a match!
      I lost my nephew at a young age of cancer and I just knew I had to give back. Three years later,           Michael is now attending college and I was blessed with my third child. I am proud to support the       Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation by speaking to potential living donors in my role as a living                 donor advocate.​
