In Need of a Kidney Donor

My name is Gabriel, and I am asking for your help to save my life.

I am a husband, father, and grandfather. My family is my biggest priority. I am lucky to have a loving wife, three step kids, four kids of my own, and a grandson. On top of spending time with my loved ones, I find great joy in being outside and working on my yard. For years I was a truck driver and provided for my family, but since my health has declined, I no longer can. 

I currently am living with end-stage renal disease. Three years ago, my kidneys failed. Since then, I have been doing nightly peritoneal dialysis to stay alive. Due to my condition, I am unable to work and I am now on disability. 

I am lucky to have my wife that supports me in everything but my life is not very fulfilling and it’s very sad to not be able to live a full life. I can’t work and I am bored at home. I do not have much family to see if they would be a match for my donation. That is why I need your help in saving my life.

 
 

I am looking for a living donor. I have eagerly been on the transplant list for two years now, anxiously awaiting a kidney so I can get back to my life. I am in need of a Living donor transplant because they generally have better outcomes and can be arranged at a time convenient for both parties. I am compatible with any Type A or O blood type. Even if you do not have the same blood type, you can donate as part of a paired exchange program.

The most difficult part of waiting for a transplant is not knowing what the future holds. I hope to live a normal, healthy life, start a family one day, and continue to grow in my career as an engineer, contributing to meaningful breakthroughs. The first step is to contact my transplant center using the information in the box above. The entire process is strictly confidential and medical costs are covered by my insurance.

Please review existing Living Donor Benefits/Rights to determine which apply to you.

Thank you for considering saving my life.  

With deep gratitude,

Gabriel
