HOME GOING FOR OUR CHERISHED IYA BEKONDO

On Wednesday, July 10, 2024, we lost our cherished Iya Bekondo after a courageous 34-year battle with kidney disease. Diagnosed at just 7 years old, Iya’s resilience shone through years of dialysis and 2 renal transplant surgeries. She received her first kidney transplant from her loving mother, Mummy Rose Bekondo, which sustained her for 16 precious years.
After returning to dialysis in 2021, she was on the transplant list for 3 years, valiantly seeking another lease on life. On July 4th, 2024, Iya would go on to receive a second kidney transplant. Unfortunately, the joy and celebration was short-lived as Iya passed on less than 48 hours after being discharged from the hospital.
