It’s never easy to ask for help—especially when the need is so deeply personal. Nathan has been living with kidney disease for most of his life, facing the daily challenges that come with it: constant fatigue, medical uncertainty, and the heavy reality of a future that depends on finding a living kidney donor. Since he was a young child, he’s been navigating the ups and downs of kidney disease, learning to live as best as he can with the limitations it brings.
Right now, Nathan is one of over 100,000 people in the U.S. waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. The wait can stretch into years, and during that time, my fear is that his health will continue to decline. But despite everything he’s been through, one thing remains steady—his hope. His determination to keep moving forward, to live each day to its fullest, is a constant reminder of his strength.
Here’s something I recently learned that amazed me: when someone donates a kidney, the remaining one actually grows to take over the job of both. It’s incredible how the human body can adapt—and how one act of kindness can make such a huge difference.
As Nathan’s advocate and supporter, I’m sharing his story in hopes that it reaches someone who might be the match he’s been waiting for. Please consider learning more, sharing his story, or starting a conversation. Every step brings us closer. Thank you for your support—it truly means everything.
