Three-year-old Anareli Lopez from Manteca, CA, is a bright, resilient little girl receiving care at UCSF Benioff Children\u2019s Hospital for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) \u2014 a condition where the kidneys permanently lose function, requiring long-term dialysis or a transplant. Anareli\u2019s journey began even before she was born, when doctors diagnosed her with ESRD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since her arrival, her parents, Danielle and Rodolfo, and her baby brother, Sammie, have been by her side through countless treatments, hospital stays, and, most recently, a life-changing kidney transplant in June 2024. The donor was none other than her mom, Danielle. While both mother and daughter recovered from surgery \u2014 in different hospitals \u2014 getting around was a challenge, especially since Danielle couldn\u2019t drive. That\u2019s when free Uber rides for Family House families became a lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have known what to do without Uber rides while both me and my baby girl were recovering,\u201d Danielle says. \u201cEspecially because our surgeries were at different hospitals \u2014 having Uber to get around during that time saved us as parents. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Uber, for your generosity towards all of us at Family House.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since August 2023, the Lopez family has found comfort, rest, and community at Family House during their stays. And thanks to supporters like Uber, they\u2019ve also found the freedom to focus on what matters most \u2014 helping Anareli heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family House San Francisco<\/a> is an independent non-profit organization led by a professional staff and board of directors dedicated to providing residential services free of charge to qualifying families. We rely solely on the generous contributions of individuals, corporations, and foundations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
