June 18 marks 3 years on dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant. Dialysis keeps me alive, but it isn’t a cure, and I’m still hoping for a donor.

If you’d like to learn more about my story or kidney donation through the National Kidney Registry, please visit and share:

I’m still here. For now. I’m at end-stage kidney failure, and dialysis keeps me alive but isn’t a cure. A kidney transplant is my only hope for a longer, healthier life. If you’re blood type O, A, or B and in good health, you might be able to help—even paired donation is possible. Please consider becoming a living donor.
