I did a fun thing yesterday. And now I must rest. Real talk. It’s crazy how the littlest things are now tasks. The Kidney Campaign is going strong and honestly the amount of people reaching out is truly a blessing. And I have to give a massive shout out to my work family. In the past few weeks various co-workers have asked about getting tested to be a potential donor. And every time someone says they are willing to get tested it literally lifts me up. There is no way for me to verify if someone goes in for testing unless they share the details with me. But I don’t think anyone would lie about it.

I can honestly say I am surrounded by A+ people. Literally - friends from work have been sharing their blood type with me. I appreciate the people who are honest with me and say they don’t know if they can do it but are atleast confirming their blood type to see if they can.

It’s the SILENCE that’s a real heart breaker. When someone is asking all the questions but not really sharing with you how they feel about being a living donor. I know living donation sounds scary. It is a very personal decision and the only advice I can give is to say: What would you do if it was you? Who do you think would offer you a kidney? Also is it the surgery that’s scary or not really understanding what your kidneys do? What if I was looking for someone to donate something like a pinky toe? Weird I know - but what if? Could you give up your pinky toe? For a chance to save a life?

Asking for a friend. ✌️
