I am advocating for Veronica in her search for a living kidney donor.
Veronica has been living with polycystic kidney disease since birth. She was diagnosed at age 24 after a severe kidney infection sent her to the emergency room. For years, she managed her condition, but in her late forties, her kidney disease began progressing quickly.
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who has shared my story and helped spread the word about my urgent need for a living kidney donor. Your support means more than I can express, and I’m especially grateful to those who have taken the incredible step of exploring the possibility of donation. Just knowing that you’re considering it gives me so much hope.
Waiting for a kidney transplant can stretch beyond five years—a journey marked by uncertainty and anxiety. Each day, I face the reality that my health will keep declining while I remain on the waiting list, completely powerless over when a donor might be found. It’s an emotional and physical challenge that weighs on every part of my life.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has shared my story and helped spread the word about my need for a living kidney donor. A special thank you to those who have stepped forward—your willingness to even consider donation means more to me than I can express.
I am advocating for Steve in his search for a living kidney donor. Steve means the world to me, and I want to do everything I can to help him get the life-saving transplant he desperately needs.
Waiting for a kidney transplant can take more than five years—a daunting reality that fills my days with uncertainty and fear. Knowing that my health will continue to decline as I wait for a donor, something entirely beyond my control, is an immense burden to carry.
Your decision to donate could provide immediate relief for someone like me. It’s not just about getting a transplant—it’s about restoring hope and energy, giving people a chance to live life fully again without the overwhelming fatigue that comes with kidney disease. If you share this message, know you might be helping connect with someone who might consider stepping forward to save my life. For that, I thank you!
I’ve learned that finding a match for a kidney transplant is a challenge. Compatibility isn’t just about willingness—it depends on blood type, tissue compatibility, and other specific medical criteria. In fact, only about 30% of patients find a match from within their own family. This statistic is both eye-opening and heartbreaking, and it’s why I am reaching out to a wider community of potential living donors.
The physical strain of kidney disease is something I deal with every day, and the wait for a transplant only makes it harder. It’s a long and exhausting journey, and for many people like me, the waiting period stretches into years. Kidney disease takes its toll on every aspect of life, from physical strength to mental and emotional well-being.
