Some gifts change a day. Others change a life.
I’ve been living with kidney disease for over 25 years. In 1998, I experienced complete kidney failure. My mom gave me the most selfless #gift I could have ever received—one of her kidneys. That transplant gave me nearly 25 beautiful, healthy years. It let me live a fuller life, spend time with my husband, and simply be me.
But recently, my transplanted kidney began to fail. I started dialysis in March. And while I’m grateful for it, dialysis is exhausting. It shapes every decision and every day. Life is slower, harder, and more uncertain now.
A living kidney donor would mean a second chance. The #gift of more energy. Less stress. The ability to work, travel with my husband, and do the everyday things I miss so much. A transplant isn’t just a medical procedure—it’s the chance to live fully again.
If you’ve ever wondered what it means to make a real difference, please consider learning more about living kidney donation. It’s safe, well-studied, and every year around 6,000 people step forward to give this incredible #gift to someone in need.
If you’re curious or even just want to ask a question, visit my website and complete the short contact form. A Living Donor Navigator—someone who has donated a kidney before—will personally reach out, confidentially, to guide you through the process. https://giftworksuuh.com/breedens/
