Yulia's Story: From Being Denied Life-Saving Kidney Transplant Due to Vaccination Status, to Now a Thriving Miracle -with Chrissy Hicks

Send Vanessa a Text Message

In this special episode, I sit down with Chrissy Hicks to candidly discuss the MIRACLE journey of her daughter Yulia. After being adopted from Ukraine, Yulia was in need of a life-saving kidney transplant, but was denied the procedure by Duke University Hospital due to her Covid vaccination status.

The story unfolds in the most incredible of ways, miracle after miracle...and Chrissy and her husband are still relentlessly dedicated towards raising awareness and sharing accommodating resources for other transplant patients. They believe it's critically important to continue to fight for EVERYONE'S freedoms and rights, and they are by no means done with trying to restructure and pass Yulia's Law. 

While this situation with Yulia went viral and reached the mainstream media, there is still much work to do when it comes to the protection of body autonomy for all citizens. With faith as their foundation, they are obediently and courageously open to do whatever it takes to create real, lasting change.
