Most people can’t imagine waiting years for something that means the difference between life and death. But that’s what I’m facing – a wait for a kidney transplant that could take more than five years. It’s a scary, uncertain place to be. Each day, my body reminds me that time is passing, and my health isn’t getting better while I wait for something I can’t control.
What keeps me going is the hope of finding a living kidney donor. Unlike waiting for a deceased donor, a living donor could mean a shorter path to healing and a better future. It could mean freedom from the constant fear of decline, and a chance to live life without so many limitations.
A living donor could give me more than just improved health; they could give me time. Time with my loved ones. Time to feel more like myself again. Time to truly live. https://giftworksuuh.com/rindeel
It’s hard to explain what it’s like to feel so out of control of your own body, to live every day with the weight of this unknown. But even in the hardest moments, I believe there’s a chance that someone out there might step forward and help change my life. That hope is what keeps me going. If you’re seeing this, know that even sharing my posts and story can make a world of difference in my search for my lifesaving donor.
