Who Am I?
I am a loving father of 2 children, church and community volunteer, past caregiver and musician.
My Interests:
Spending as much time with my family, friends and church members. Playing my guitars, singing country music, playing the drums, swimming, working out, the beach, cooking, animals and nature, 4H Fairs, flea markets, short walks, watching old time western movies, sitting in the sun, loving life.
My Diagnosis:
End stage kidney failure
How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:
A kidney transplant miracle would enable me to live life once again with the people I love. I feel like I have so much more living to do. I was always energetic, felt younger than my age, full of life, and a sense of humor I’m being told people miss. I believe a transplant will allow me to do the things I used to do before I became emotionally and physically exhausted from kidney failure. I am a very social person, I love to meet new people, and I miss being more involved with my church since being sick with kidney failure. I would love to be able to be my old self again for my family who still needs me, and for myself.
A transplant will bring joy and laughter to my loved ones again, especially my daughter who I can’t bare to lose. She is my world and a transplant would give me the greatest gift, which would be to spend many more years together with her. We do almost everything together like two peas in a pod. Life is priceless and a blessing to me. I would love to be given a second chance at living life again.
