Life on dialysis: my fight, my hope

This isn't just a medical condition; it's a daily marathon of resilience. Discover the true story of living with chronic kidney disease, the challenges, the fears, and the unwavering spirit that keeps me fighting every single day for myself and my family. We're in this together, seeking a future beyond dialysis.

The silent struggles of daily life

Imagine planning every trip around medical equipment, lugging heavy boxes of medication, and facing constant fatigue that saps your energy. These are the daily realities of dialysis, often leading to moments where simply chasing my kids feels like an impossible task. The fear of passing out is real, but so is the resolve to keep going, every single day.

Beyond the machine: what you don't see

Many see the treatments, but few understand the profound impact dialysis has on our bodies and lives. It's a grueling process we endure, not one we choose to embrace forever. Our energy levels plummet, and the joy of simple pleasures, like eating our favorite foods, often becomes a distant memory due to strict dietary restrictions. This isn't just inconvenient; it's a constant battle for quality of life.

A ray of hope in the darkness

For anyone navigating chronic kidney disease or dialysis, I hope this page offers a ray of hope. We often feel compelled to carry this burden alone, not wanting to be a burden to loved ones. But my wish is for you to understand this process, to feel empowered to open up, and for others to offer support. Consider donating – not just to me, but to anyone facing this battle, because no one should feel hopeless or alone.

My fight, our shared hope

"Every treatment is a reminder that I’m still here. Still fighting. Still parenting. Still showing up. This journey is about more than illness — it’s about hope. It’s about finding a living kidney donor. It’s about getting a second chance at energy, at presence, at being the parent my children deserve without the constant weight of dialysis holding me back. If you’re here, thank you."
