"Nardya will not be going home": Woman given days to live after double lung transplant.

A double lung transplant was supposed to give a young Queensland woman a new life. Now, her family is helping her to achieve her dying wish as her body rejects the organs.

Nardya Miller has cystic fibrosis and underwent the double lung transplant in 2014 because she was tired of not being able to breathe and “sick of fighting a never-ending battle”.

The operation was supposed to be “life-changing”, but sadly the 25-year-old’s body rejected her new organs, and she has suffered what is called chronic rejection of her new lungs ever since.

Two years later and the makeup artist is in palliative care in hospital, breathing only with the help of respiratory life support and is expected to have just days to live.

Nardya’s cousin Tachae Douglas-Miller has shared her heartbreaking story on GoFundMe with the hope of helping her to achieve her dying wish of supporting her fiancé Liam Fitzgerald after she is gone.

Ms Douglas Miller said Nardya had been in and out of hospital her whole life, “missing birthdays, Christmas, and milestones”.

“Not many of us know what it feels like to be told we aren’t expected to live past our teenage years,” she wrote on the GoFundMe page.

Ms Douglas Miller said her cousin had not let the organ rejection overcome her, by pursuing her dream of owning a beauty salon, which she achieved with a salon in Ipswitch.

"After undergoing the double lung transplant she didn't realise she was so ill," she wrote on the page.

"Instead of letting this get the better of her she managed to start up her own beauty business, she bought a house with her beautiful fiancé Liam, she adopted three beautiful little fur babies and she started to make her dream of opening her own beauty store a reality."

However, Ms Douglas Miller said it was not only the thought of her career goals that had kept her working.

"She didn't want to stop working as she didn't want to burden her fiancé with debt."

When Nardya was given the news of having just a week to live about five days ago, her thoughts remained with her fiancé, Liam, and how he would survive financially after her death.

With this in mind, her cousin created the GoFundMe page, and pleaded for donations, setting a goal of $10,000 to help "keep Nardya's dreams of having her fiancé not be left in debt, and to look after her three little fur babies".

"Nardya will not be going home, she has been given a time frame of a week," she wrote.

"She is leaving behind a beautiful fiancé who works so hard to care for her."

In just days the family have exceeded their target, raising more than $14,000.

Two days ago Ms Douglas Miller thanked supporters for their generosity.

"We are so overwhelmed with the generosity from you all!! Thank you, thank you so so much for your kind donations," she wrote.

Cystic fibrosis is a deteriorating illness with no cure. According to Cystic Fibrosis Australia it mainly affects the lungs and digestive system because of a malfunction in the exocrine system, responsible for producing saliva, sweat, tears and mucus.
