1 Kidney for Maria

💙 Maria’s Miracle 💙

I want to share something very personal with you.

My wife, Maria, is currently battling Stage 5 kidney disease. It’s a journey we never expected—but one that has shown us the power of faith, community, and the incredible gift of life.

We were given “Maria’s Miracle” cards with a QR code that connects directly to information about how you can help—whether that’s learning more, sharing her story, or even considering becoming a living donor.

🙏 Here’s how you can make a difference:
• Scan the QR code if you receive one of the cards
• Share this post so others can learn about Maria’s journey
• Keep Maria in your prayers

You may not realize it, but something as simple as sharing this message could help save a life.

We believe in miracles—and sometimes, miracles start with people like you.

If you’d like more information just send me a message.

Thank you for standing with us. ❤️

Donating is safe. Most kidney donors are usually up, walking around, eating and drinking by the next day after the operation. Kidney donations are safe per this video from the Mayo Clinic. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kidney%20donations%20are%20safe%20for%20donors%20video&udm=7&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5 =ive&vld=cid:9913d633,vid:vpMDfxV-u_I,st:0

URGENT: Maria Needs a Living Kidney Donor 🚨

I’m sharing this flyer because time is critical. Maria is still waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant—and every single day, her kidneys are becoming less efficient.

A living donor can give Maria the chance to receive a transplant sooner, with a better match and a stronger outcome. If you are healthy, you may be able to donate—and save her life.

📍 The process is carefully managed by UT Southwestern, and donors go through thorough medical evaluations to ensure their safety.

🙏 If you can’t donate, please don’t scroll past—SHARE this post. The right person could see this today.

3. Myth: Kidney donors need to take medications for life.

Fact: Unlike transplant recipients, kidney donors do not require lifelong medications after donation.

They are generally healthy and can lead normal lives post-donation. After recovery, most donors return to normal activities and lead healthy lives. However, they are advised to avoid medications that can harm kidney function, such as NSAIDs (e.g., Advil, Aleve).

Hi friends, it’s Maria 💚

Myth #2: You have to be young to donate a kidney.
Truth: You don’t! 🙌

Healthy people in their 70s — even 80s or 90s — have successfully donated kidneys.

Each hospital sets its own age limits. For example, UT Southwestern Medical Center allows living kidney donations up to age 65.

Choosing the right transplant center matters. UT Southwestern is one of the top programs in Texas and the U.S., rated “High Performing” by U.S. News & World Report for kidney failure treatment. Their expertise helps ensure great outcomes for both donors and recipients.

Becoming a living donor isn’t just about medicine — it’s about saving a life.
Yours could save mine. 💚
