Atlanta Family hoping Billboard will lead to a miracle

She’s in a fight for her life and hanging her hopes on billboards. Since the age of two, Gwinnett county resident Mandie Hale has been dealing with setbacks and symptoms from kidney failure.  The treatments have taken such a toll on Mandie’s body that her options are running out.  Not knowing where else to turn, she and her mom are hoping outdoor advertising will prompt a donor to make the call that will save her life.  All around Atlanta, billboards can be seen showing Mandie Hale’s face and asking strangers to help save her life.  It is just one more plea from Mandie’s mother, Joanna Cotes, who has been fighting for years to keep her daughter alive.  Cotes has already given her daughter one of her own kidneys. But Mandie’s body rejected it, leaving the family with the knowledge that the lifesaving organ would have to be given by a stranger.  For more on this story, click here.
