About My Dad's Journey
This is my Dad, Frank. He has been diagnosed with a rare genetic kidney disease called Alport syndrome that progressively deteriorates the function of both kidneys until they are no longer able to function anymore.
​
Since both my Dad's kidneys have failed, he is
in need of a kidney transplant to save his life, and allow him to experience life again.
Waiting for a kidney transplant from a deceased donor can take over 10 years, and for many it's too late. Living kidney donation is the best option for those in need of a transplant, and can be one of the most satisfying things a person can experience in their life, but there are not nearly enough donors to fit the need.
Benefits Of Living Kidney Donation:
Greater Success Rates
Living Donor Transplants have a 90-95% success rate, while deceased donors take much longer to find and have a lower success rate
Longevity & Quality of Life
People only need 1 kidney to live a healthy and active life! The surgery to remove a kidney is minimally invasive and the transplant can last over 20 years for the recipient, while deceased donor transplants typically lasts only 12.
