My journey with kidney disease started when I was in my mid-twenties, but it’s not something that defines me. Despite being diagnosed with kidney failure, I’ve stayed determined. I work a physically demanding job every day, take blood pressure medicine, and follow a strict renal diet. I’m also studying to get my GED, participating in church activities, and staying connected to my community.
The idea of receiving a living kidney donation means more to me than just a medical solution. It represents determination—my determination to continue living life to the fullest. It’s a chance for me to stay healthy, to be there for my loved ones, and to keep pushing forward with the things I care about.
Living donation would help me avoid dialysis, and it would give me the opportunity to focus on the future, not just the uncertainty of kidney failure.
