Jessica Jordan, Lyle’s mother, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Granulomatosis 12 years ago. It’s a rare disease that causes inflammation and can damage organs.

“Once he passed away and I realized that there wasn't anybody else, I figured I could do it," said Lyle.“Right away with no questions asked, she was just like, 'I'll do it!' And I was really nervous about that. That scared me and I was like, 'No, no, no, you're too young," expressed Jordan."He was like, 'Well, are you going to let her?' and I was like, 'I don't know.

Lyle said because she now has one kidney, she does have to be careful regarding her health but continued to echo it's worth it to have her mother healthy and alive.While the focus has been on kidneys for a while, they're excited to shift to Lyle's excitement for her senior year in high school. “I think this year is going to be really really good because I have my mom who's going to be way healthier. It's my senior year things are going to be so different," said Lyle.

"I want to just tell everyone about it because I just think what she did was just so amazing and she's just going accomplish a lot this senior year. I mean, this just this year in general is a big year for her with the transplant. You know, she got her car and she's a senior and you know, she's just so smart and beautiful and talented and I just I'm just really excited for her," said Jordan about her daughter.

She bought Lyle a patch for her daughter's letterman jacket that says 'kidney donor' with the date of the surgery, June 14, 2023.
