I am advocating for Ken in his search for a living kidney donor.
Ken is a wonderful person who has faced countless challenges with unwavering strength and a positive attitude. Diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) at the age of 34, Ken has worked hard to manage his health, despite the daily toll the disease takes on his energy and well-being. He is typically exhausted, battling nausea, low energy, and swelling, which makes even the simplest tasks, like helping his wife Cheryl with chores, more difficult. Despite these struggles, Ken remains optimistic about the future.
Ken and Cheryl’s relationship is a true testament to love and support. They’ve been through so much together—especially when Cheryl was diagnosed with colorectal cancer six years ago, which coincided with Ken’s health decline. Their bond is everything to Ken, and they are a strong, supportive team, always looking out for each other.
Ken’s doctors believe that a living kidney donation would be the best path for him, as kidneys affected by PKD often thrive with a living donor. Ken dreams of regaining his energy, staying active at work, and finally being able to travel and enjoy life with Cheryl—the way they’ve always wanted to. A kidney transplant would allow them to retire and explore the world together, something they’ve both worked hard for and deserve.
If you or someone you know might consider being Ken’s living kidney donor, please visit https://giftworksuuh.com/kenl/. Every share, every person who learns about Ken’s story, brings us one step closer to saving his life.
Thank you for your support.
