Thank you so much for taking a moment to read this—it truly means the world to me and my family.
As many of you may know, I’ve been living with polycystic kidney disease for years, and unfortunately, my health continues to decline. In March 2024, I was placed on the kidney transplant list, but as I wait, I struggle daily with exhaustion, nausea, and low energy. Even the simplest things—helping my wife, working, or just enjoying life—have become increasingly difficult.
I’m currently on the deceased donor transplant list, but the wait could take more than five years, and frankly, I don’t have that kind of time. A kidney from a living donor is my best chance for a healthier future, and it would mean the world to me to be able to regain my strength and get back to living a full life. After my transplant, my wife and I dream of traveling, retiring somewhere beautiful, and finally experiencing the things we’ve worked so hard for.
If you or someone you know would consider becoming a potential donor, please visit my website at https://giftworksuuh.com/kenl/. There, you can learn more and find a short contact form to complete if you’re interested. Once submitted, a Living Donor Navigator—someone who has donated a kidney themselves—will reach out within one business day to guide you through the process.
Each year, 6,000 people save lives by becoming living kidney donors. Even if donation isn’t an option, simply sharing my story could make all the difference. Your support means everything to me.
