Armondo S

I’m reaching out today because I’m in urgent need of a living kidney donor to save my life.

I was born with a kidney disease called IgA Nephropathy, which is a degenerative condition. Unfortunately, this led to my kidneys failing two years ago when I was just 24. Since then, I’ve been on dialysis and have been on the University of Utah transplant list for a year. Dialysis has been keeping me going, but it’s tough—on the days I have both work and dialysis, I’m completely drained. On my days off, I’m usually just catching up on sleep. The days I have dialysis feel like they disappear entirely.

If I were to receive a new kidney, my life would change in ways I can barely imagine. I’d have the energy to live fully again—to focus on my dreams of going to college and eventually med school to become a nephrologist. I want to use my experience to help others who are going through what I’m facing right now.

I’m asking for help in finding a living kidney donor. If you or someone you know would consider getting tested as a potential donor, it would truly change my life. Please visit my website to learn more about my situation and how you can help. https://giftworksuuh.com/armondos/

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Did you know… most people experience a boost in self-esteem after donating a kidney! It’s incredible how giving the gift of life can also uplift your own sense of purpose and well-being. I’m Armondo, and I’m currently searching for a living donor to help me in my fight for a healthier life. If you’ve ever thought about making a difference, I’d love for you to learn more about my story and how you could help. You can find more information and resources on my website, which is linked in the comments. Thank you so much for your support and kindness. It means more than you can imagine!

I discovered that my kidneys were failing at the age of 24 due to a condition known as IGA Nephropathy. This news has been overwhelming and emotionally taxing. Despite being on the waitlist for a deceased donor kidney, the reality is that the wait can stretch over five years, given the high demand and limited availability.
Every day without a transplant feels like a battle, and my health continues to deteriorate. That’s why I’m reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea: if you could share my story, it might help me find a living kidney donor who could offer a life-saving gift. If you’re moved to consider becoming that donor, please visit my GiftWorks page and complete the contact form here: https://giftworksuuh.com/armondos/.
Your support and compassion mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my message and for any help you can offer.

Upon learning that I had made it onto the transplant waitlist, I was filled with incredible happiness. When I get a kidney transplant, I will have so much more time and energy. In fact, I plan on going to college and medical school to become a nephrologist. But waiting for a deceased kidney transplant doesn’t guarantee a quick solution. Getting a kidney from a deceased donor could take 5 years or more. That’s a long journey battling kidney disease, and a lot can happen while I wait. That’s why I’m sharing my story actively, hoping to find a living kidney donor who could save my life. Your share could be the difference. Please SHARE this post and my website to spread the word! I truly appreciate your support!

What I want my future kidney donor to know:

It’s not easy for me to openly admit this, but kidney failure has shaped my life in ways I often keep to myself. The impact has been profound, affecting me more deeply than many realize. Getting a new kidney isn’t just about extending my lifespan, but also about reclaiming the vitality kidney failure has stolen from me. I want to attend medical school to specialize in nephrology, and a new kidney could help me achieve this goal. This journey isn’t just about restoring my health; it’s about fulfilling my dreams and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others, too.
