Living with kidney disease has been one of the toughest challenges of my life. It’s not just the physical toll that dialysis takes on me — it’s everything else. The constant exhaustion, dizziness, and inability to do the things I used to enjoy with my family, like playing with my kids or traveling, have left me feeling stuck. The emotional and mental toll is just as heavy, and it’s something you can’t always see. I’ve missed out on so much — from family vacations to being the active mom I want to be. Work is harder, too, as my health often keeps me from keeping up.
But I continue to fight. Every day, I remind myself that I can’t give up. My kids, my family — they keep me going. Their love and encouragement have been my anchor, helping me stay strong and focused on the goal: to get a kidney transplant and feel healthy again.
I am still hopeful that a living donor will step forward and give me the chance I need. A kidney from a living donor would not only allow me to receive a transplant sooner, but it also gives me a much better chance at long-term success. Many living donors share incredible stories of how giving this gift changed their lives, too. It’s truly a gift beyond words.
