Memorials in the name of Tiffany Pope may be made to the National Kidney Foundation of NC, 5950 Fairview Rd., Ste. 550, Charlotte, NC 28210. Tiffany was born at CMC without kidneys and an irregular bladder, and given virtually no chance of survival. With the extraordinary work of Retired Dr. Patrick Burgess of Metrolina Nephrology Group in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Flippo of Charlotte, NC and Dr. Edward Kohaut of Children's Hospital in Birmingham Alabama, she was given dialysis, and at 15 months she received a kidney transplant from her mother Mary. This enabled Tiffany to enjoy 28 years she would not otherwise have had. Tiffany has always been a fighter, and has endured many hospitalizations, operations and overcome many hardships. To honor her memory, please consider becoming an organ donor and being a better person. Per Tiffany's request, live your lives to the fullest.
