For those of us living with kidney disease, the ultimate gift is not just a transplant—it’s the opportunity for a longer, healthier life. When a kidney recipient like myself receives a living donor kidney, the benefits extend far beyond just the transplant surgery. In fact, studies show that recipients with a living donor tend to have a longer life expectancy than those who receive kidneys from deceased donors.
While I receive the ultimate gift of life, the donor also receives something incredible in return: the satisfaction of knowing they’ve made a life-changing impact. The bond that forms between the donor and recipient is unlike any other, and for the donor, it’s the knowledge that they’ve helped someone achieve a future they may not have had otherwise.
If you’re considering becoming a living donor, I want you to know that the process is not only safe, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Completing the short contact form on my GiftWorks website will connect you with a Living Donor Navigator—someone who has walked this path before and can offer the guidance, support, and answers you may need. They’re there to help you every step of the way, and they know firsthand how meaningful this act of kindness can be.
