Now, he’s back on dialysis, which takes up 25–30 hours of his week. It leaves him exhausted, but it hasn’t taken away his spirit or his hope.

Saving Deon’s Life

It’s never easy to ask for help—especially when the request is as personal as this. My friend Deon has been living with the effects of Lupus since 2005, and by the time doctors discovered the impact on her kidneys, the damage was already severe. In 2021, Deon entered renal failure. She’s been on the transplant list since 2022, hoping to find a living kidney donor and avoid the harsh toll of dialysis.
