The belief that donating a kidney shortens one’s lifespan is a myth. Research shows that living kidney donors live just as long as those with two kidneys. After donation, the remaining kidney grows larger and adapts to maintain normal function. In fact, studies have found no significant difference in life expectancy between kidney donors and non-donors.
The constant fatigue and physical toll from kidney disease can be overwhelming. It feels like my body is constantly fighting just to keep going. That’s why knowing that kidneys from living donors can last even longer than average is so reassuring. It means that if someone steps forward to help, not only will I get a new chance at life, but I could enjoy many years without the burden of kidney disease weighing me down.
Rindee means the world to me, and I want to do everything I can to help her get the life-saving transplant she desperately needs. While I would love to be able to donate myself, unfortunately, medical factors have ruled me out, or I’m unable to donate for other reasons.
