the gift of life.
Asking For Help Is Humbling…
For more than 30 years, I’ve lived with Lupus Nephritis, a condition that slowly damages the kidneys. Today, I’m in Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, and I’m hoping to find a living kidney donor. A transplant would give me the only chance to avoid dialysis and continue living a full and meaningful life.
I’m sharing my story because I believe in the power of community, kindness, and connection. If you’re open to learning more, thank you…it means more than I can ever say.
