It’s never easy to ask for help, especially when the request is so deeply personal. Rich has been battling kidney disease for a long time, facing the daily challenges this illness brings—fatigue, uncertainty, and the weight of a future that depends on finding a living kidney donor.
Currently, Rich is one of over 100,000 people in the U.S. waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant. The wait can take years, and while he waits, I fear his condition may worsen. But despite all the hurdles he’s faced, the one thing that remains unwavering is his hope for a better future. I’m hopeful, too.
Here’s something I recently learned that’s truly incredible: when someone donates a kidney, the remaining kidney grows to take over the full function needed for the body. It’s amazing how the human body can adapt to provide such a profound gift.
As Rich’s advocate, I’m here to help spread the word and ask anyone who can, to consider becoming a living kidney donor. Every share, every conversation, and every connection brings us closer to finding a match. Please take a moment to read Rich’s story and help us spread the word. Your support means the world to us.
Thank you for your continued encouragement and support. https://giftworksuuh.com/richardm/
