It’s never easy to ask for help, especially when the need is so deeply personal. Simon has been battling kidney disease for years. In early 2023, his condition worsened, and he began dialysis—a treatment that keeps him alive but comes at a heavy cost to his energy, his time, and his everyday life.
Simon is now in urgent need of a living kidney donor.
He’s currently on the deceased donor list, but the average wait time is over 5 years—time Simon may not have. A living donor transplant offers the best chance to restore his health and give him the freedom to live fully again: to chase after his young kids, to return to the work and hobbies he loves, and to simply live without dialysis determining every part of his schedule.
Simon is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people we know. He’s the guy who shows up for his friends without hesitation, who makes people feel truly heard, and who somehow keeps his sense of humor even through the toughest days. Now, he needs us to show up for him.
Here’s something amazing: When someone donates a kidney, their remaining kidney actually adapts to do the work of two. It’s a powerful reminder of what the human body—and human kindness—can do.

Every share, every conversation, and every act of advocacy helps get Simon closer to the match he so desperately needs.
