Did you know it can take years to get a kidney transplant through the national waitlist? But when someone steps forward as a living donor, the process can move much faster—and it can completely change someone’s life.
I’ve been living with chronic kidney disease for about eight years. I was diagnosed unexpectedly after a routine test. Over time, my condition worsened, and now I’m on dialysis three times a week. It’s exhausting. I’ve had to stop working, and even day-to-day activities are harder than they used to be.
Still, I hold on to hope.
I’m registered with the University of Utah Health, and the best path forward for me is a transplant. A living donor would not only shorten my wait—it would give me a chance to get back to life. I’d be able to spend more time with my wife, Kamille, and our two boys. We’d have the freedom to travel again, and I could feel more like me.
I know not everyone can be a donor—but if you feel called to learn more, there’s a safe and simple way to do that. Just complete the short contact form on my website. It’s completely confidential, and a Living Donor Navigator—someone who has donated before—will walk you through what’s involved. https://giftworksuuh.com/johng/
Sharing this post is also a huge help. The more people who see it, the better my chances of finding that one match who can save my life.
