I was diagnosed with kidney disease 7 years ago, and I’ve been on the transplant list for over 3 years. I’ve learned that waiting for a deceased donor can take much longer than we hope, and the wait can leave you feeling stuck in a constant cycle of fatigue and uncertainty. For me, transplant became the best option 4 years ago.
This powerful quote resonates deeply with me as I navigate the journey of seeking a living kidney donor. The truth is, it’s not just about the donation itself, but the love and selflessness behind it. True giving, when it comes from the heart, is a reflection of compassion and care for others. It’s an expression of wanting to make a difference in someone’s life, and it doesn’t always require grand gestures.
I’ve been living with kidney disease for some time now, and the journey has been challenging. But despite everything, I remain hopeful because I know that living kidney donation is the best option for me. A transplant from a living donor not only means I’ll receive it faster, but it will also work better, leading to a more successful outcome.
