In Need of a Kidney Donor

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

I’m passionate about mountain biking, motorcycles, and cars. My wife and I are both physical therapists, and we came to the U.S. from the Philippines in 2013. We currently have a 2-year old son. As a physical therapist, the most rewarding part of my job is seeing my patients improve from day one. There’s nothing more fulfilling than being part of their journey toward recovery.

For the past year, I have been waiting for a kidney transplant and have just started peritoneal dialysis. Despite this, I continue to work full-time, while my wife is working part-time to support our family. A kidney transplant would significantly improve our lives, allowing me to focus on what truly matters — spending more time with my family and being there for my son.

  • Step 1

    Please contact my transplant center below if you would like to learn more or be tested to become my donor. You will need my birthday: 09/06/1984


    Transplant Center: (302) 623-3866

I am looking for a living donor. I am asking this of both friends and strangers, because I have no immediate family that is able to donate. Living donor transplants generally have better outcomes and can be arranged at a time convenient for both parties. I am compatible with any Type 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 continue a lifetime of spending time with my wife and son, working with my patients as a physical therapist, and enjoying my hobbies. 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,

Matt
