When I received a kidney from my mom back in 1998, it changed everything. That one selfless act gave me nearly 25 beautiful years of health, energy, and life. Now that her kidney is failing and I’m back on dialysis, I’m reminded every day how precious that gift truly was—and how powerful living donation can be.
One of the things I’ve learned is that kidney recipients tend to live longer after receiving a kidney from a living donor. The outcomes are often better—less time on dialysis, fewer complications, and more years to spend doing the things we love with the people who matter most. https://giftworksuuh.com/breedens/
For me, that means traveling with my husband, working again, and enjoying everyday moments without being tethered to a dialysis schedule. A living donor wouldn’t just give me a kidney—they’d give me time. Time to live fully and freely again.
And while I would receive the ultimate gift—the gift of life—the donor receives something priceless in return: the chance to save someone’s life and know they made a lasting difference. Many donors say they would do it again if they could.
If you’re even a little curious, or just want to learn more, I invite you to visit my website and complete the short contact form. You’ll be connected with a Living Donor Navigator—someone who has already donated and understands what you’re feeling. They’ll answer your questions, confidentially and with compassion. https://giftworksuuh.com/breedens/
Thank you for reading. Thank you for considering this extraordinary act.
