Living with polycystic kidney disease has been a journey that has tested me in ways I could never have imagined. Kidney disease is not just a physical challenge—it affects every part of life. There have been days when I felt too tired or unwell to be the husband I want to be, to help Cheryl with chores, or to fully engage at work. I’ve missed family outings, vacations, and moments that most people take for granted. Yet despite all of this, I’ve learned to be resilient. https://giftworksuuh.com/kenl/
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the incredible support of the people I love. Cheryl has been my rock, supporting me through every challenge and helping me stay focused on the future. Friends and family have reminded me that even in hard times, there is hope. Their encouragement keeps me moving forward, even when the road feels impossible.
I remain hopeful that a living kidney donor will step forward and save my life. Receiving a kidney from a living donor is life-changing. It can mean faster recovery, fewer complications, and a chance to regain the energy and health that kidney disease has taken from me. There are so many inspiring stories of living donors who have not only saved lives but also given hope to patients and families. The gift of a kidney is a gift beyond words—a chance to live fully again.
I still need a living donor to make this dream a reality. If you or someone you know might consider becoming a living donor, please complete the confidential contact form on my GiftWorks page at https://giftworksuuh.com/kenl/. A GiftWorks Living Donor Navigator—someone who has donated a kidney before—will contact you to provide guidance, answer questions, and support you through every step.
Every share, every conversation, and every connection brings me closer to the life-changing gift I am waiting for. Thank you for being part of this journey.
