Living donor stories

Tony: My kidney donation story

I knew early on I wanted to be the one to save my little girl’s life by donating my kidney, as long as I was a good match.

I am so very thankful and blessed to have received my daughter’s liver and want to encourage people to be an organ donor.

I am so grateful for the family’s decision to gift me with a second chance.

On December 23, 2022 I donated one of my kidneys! We are both doing amazing, and our family is starting to try to live a “normal” life.

On March 3, a team of living donors, friends and family took their first steps on a journey to the top of the world.

I am very engaged in my community and have been blessed with a wide platform and have the opportunity to connect with so many inspiring people.
