Today, we celebrate a very special person- my brother Adam Mendoza, on his 50th birthday!
When you look at these three pictures from two years ago, one year ago, and today, you can see just how far he has come. Exactly one year ago today, we began home dialysis. It was a difficult season filled with uncertainty, but also faith, strength, and hope.
Today, we are so grateful to see him back to living a full, normal life with his new kidney. My brother’s journey is the inspiration behind Journey of Hope Foundation and the reason we are passionate about helping families facing medical hardships of their own.
Happy 50th Birthday, Adam. Your strength, courage, and perseverance continue to inspire us. We love you and thank God for the beautiful progress He has made in your life. 💙 I love you always and pray we get to celebrate many more birthdays.
