Traveling Man Needs a Kidney

This page is for friends, family, and all who want to support a traveling man get a fresh start.

Traveling Man in need of a kidney is a wonderful devoted husband with children. He was diagnosed at the early age of 8 with Polycystic Kidney Disease. This disease has impacted many members of his family including his mother and younger brother. The only cure for PKD is a transplant and we are at that point now as his Kidneys have grown extremely large and at times impact his ability to do normal tasks due to pain. Due to the size of his Kidneys, he will be having a Bilateral Nephrectomy (Both Kidneys Removed). It is our hope that this can be done with the help of a living donor, so that he does not have to start Dialysis. The goal of this page is to educate, connect, and share our journey with a little humor.

💡 Did you know?
With Home Hemodialysis (HHD), many patients experience greater flexibility and fewer clinic visits—while still receiving high-quality care. 🏡🩺

Thanks to advancements in treatment, some HHD patients can dialyze fewer times per week, based on their unique care plan and response to therapy.

✨ Less time commuting. More time living.
Talk to your care team to see if home dialysis is right for you.

We graduated from 5 days a week to 4 days a week today, thanks to our response to therapy.
