American Ninja Warrior helped this amazing little girl find a new kidney

This is Hazel Niemitalo. Go ahead and take a second to stare in awe at her cuteness. We’ll wait.

Hazel’s dad, Kenny, is an American Ninja Warrior who made it to the Atlanta City Finals in season eight. While on the show, he shared Hazel’s story.

Hazel was born on April 4, 2015. At less than two weeks old, she began having seizures. Little Hazel was diagnosed with Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome of Finnish Type, which is a kidney disease that has no cure other than a donor transplant.

Since Hazel was so young, she would need to grow to at least 22 pounds to gain strength and make room in her body to minimize risks for the surgeries needed to remove both kidneys and receive an adult kidney.

A living kidney donor would need to be found.

Guess what?!? A donor was found!

Hazel's donor, Amy, found the family through watching the Atlanta episode of American Ninja Warrior.

After waiting over 20 months for everything to come together, Kenny, his wife Maria, and Hazel were able to get the process for surgery started.

On November 11, 2016, Hazel had both kidneys removed and was placed on dialysis.

Which Hazel handled like a champ!

On December 11, the family found out Hazel’s transplant surgery would need to be postponed since Hazel had a cold. They worried they’d have to wait until January to reschedule to surgery.

But just in time for Christmas, they were cleared for surgery to take place on December 20.

Hazel got to meet her donor in person on December 19, 2016.

AMY IS THE COOLEST.

Surgery for Hazel and her donor Amy happened on December 20.

Hazel woke up with new kidney and a big kiss for dad! (We’re not crying. You’re crying.)

So cool. So collected.

Funny little attitude firmly intact!

Ready for this? Hazel is doing so well that the whole family got to go HOME on December 27!

Hazel will need to visit the hospital every two days for labs and check ups. Currently she’s on 13 different medications for the next year, some of which she’ll be on for life.

But right now, her dad Kenny says, “Normal-ish life is the name of this next chapter as we will be able to travel for the first time in her life.”

World, meet Hazel, the little Ninja Warrior, who at less than two years old, already says, “Yeah, I got this” when faced with obstacles.
