Charolenn S

As many of you know, I’ve been on a deeply personal journey to find a living kidney donor. Over the past six months, the urgency of this search has intensified, but I remain hopeful and determined for a positive outcome. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has already come forward to help. Your bravery and kindness, even if we haven’t had the chance to meet in person, genuinely touch my heart and give me strength.
If you’re considering the possibility of becoming a donor or are ready to take the next step in testing, I warmly encourage you to do so. Please begin by filling out the contact form on my website, which you can find linked in the comments below. Your willingness to explore this option could make an immense difference in my life.
Thank you so much for your support, compassion, and kindness during this challenging time. Your encouragement means more to me than words can express.

It has been over 10 years since I learned that I would need dialysis, and 6 years since I received my first kidney transplant. Now, I’m facing the challenge of kidney failure once again, and the possibility of starting over with a new transplant feels both daunting and uncertain.
While I’m currently on the waitlist for a kidney from a deceased donor, the process can be lengthy and unpredictable due to the high demand and limited availability. I’m reaching out with a heartfelt appeal: if you could share my story, it might help me find a living kidney donor who could make an extraordinary difference in my life.
If you feel moved to consider becoming a donor, please visit my GiftWorks page and complete the contact form here: https://giftworksuuh.com/charolenns.
Your support and compassion during this challenging time would mean so much to me. Thank you.

Learning that I had been placed on the transplant waitlist filled me with incredible joy. Receiving a new kidney would help me in so many ways, including having the energy to spend quality time with my loved ones. Being on the waitlist for a deceased donor kidney doesn’t guarantee a quick transplant. Many patients, myself included, often wait five years or more. This extended wait is challenging for anyone coping with kidney disease, as many things can change during this time. That’s why I am proactively sharing my story. I’m seeking a living kidney donor who might be inspired by my journey and choose to save my life. Such a person would give me the most incredible gift imaginable.

It’s not easy for me to reach out and ask for such a significant gift. It feels like an immense request, one that weighs heavily on my heart. Asking for help isn’t something I’m accustomed to, but this situation has shown me the value of reaching out and the importance of receiving support when it’s needed most. I want you to know that your consideration alone means the world to me. Your willingness to even consider this act of kindness touches me deeply, and I can’t express how grateful I am.

Living donors can lead healthy lives: Contrary to common misconceptions, donating a kidney does not typically lead to long-term health problems. In fact, donors undergo thorough medical evaluations to ensure they’re healthy enough for donation, and studies show that they can live just as long as those with two kidneys.

We recently had a heartfelt conversation with Charolenn about what she would want to say to her potential living kidney donor. Her words struck a chord deep within us: “It’s difficult to ask someone to donate their other kidney to me, it’s incredibly hard. I don’t normally ask for anything or ask for favors. I’m appreciative of anyone who even considers being my lifesaving donor.”

Did you know that dialysis, while life-saving, isn’t a long-term solution? Charolenn undergoes dialysis three times a week, spending precious hours away from her loved ones. Every moment counts, and she could be using this time to cherish moments with those she holds dear, doing the things she loves.
The wait for a deceased kidney donor could stretch to 5 years or more, stealing away valuable time from Charolenn’s life. Time is our most precious asset, and every day matters.
