Welcome to our page!!! I’ve started this page numerous times, trying to find the right words, or how to even approach someone to start the conversation. My husband needs a kidney!
➖ For someone with kidney disease, asking someone to consider donating is extremely hard and impossible.
📢 A 100,000 people are waiting for a kidney transplant!!
📣 Only 18,000 get transplanted every year
🚫 4,000 die waiting each year which is 12 die every day, 1 dies every 2 hours
❌ Only 6,000 are living donors
▪️ is an initiative by the National Kidney Foundation to educate and raise awareness about living kidney donations and transplantation among kidney patients, family, friends, and even strangers.
🔊The big reason we are blasting this to social media is because we are scared to ask people if they would be interested in donating, it’s not really the best conversation starter😆 but given the opportunity to find a match that is living gives Cory the chance to have 20+ more years added to his life then the alternative.
❗️Cory watched his grandfather battle this same disease many years ago and after being on dialysis for a long period of time he was lucky enough to get a kidney transplant. This man who is no longer with us lived 20+ years after transplant that’s just AMAZING!!! 🌟
❗️Cory is choosing living donation first for transplant because yet he’s not quite ready for dialysis, he just doesn’t want to live his life going to dialysis for many days week after week.
❤️ As his support person I am not allowed to see if I could potentially be a donor because that would require us to both have major surgeries, hospital follow ups, living in KC for 2 weeks with appts everyday, and we love our girls but don’t think they are ready to take care of us both full time 🏥
🚁 This guy is not ready to quit flying as a Flight Paramedic full time, which he can’t do on dialysis!
He does live by the Luke Bryan song of “huntin, fishin, loving everyday” 🦃🦌🦆🪶 he’s not ready to give it all up for dialysis.
🩷He loves his girls so much, he wants to walk them down the aisle, have grandbabies, and sit on the front porch rocking the days away and not be hooked to dialysis.
🙏🏻 Thank you for listening to our story, if you feel compelled to see if you’re a match visit our many websites about kidney transplant and donation. 🩵
