You Only Need One Kidney to Live a Full Life
Every year, about 6,000 people step up and become living kidney donors in the United States—saving the lives of people like me. I was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease at just 16 years old. Since then, I’ve spent years tied to dialysis, missing out on so many milestones most people take for granted. I dream of the simple things: swimming again, building my career, traveling, even dressing up without worrying about a chest catheter.
