In March, we celebrate National #Kidney Month. But for families with a loved one on dialysis, everyday is a day about the struggle with kidney disease and #ESRD. Like this little guy, BJ, whose dad, Bernard, a local police officer, is on hemodialysis, and waiting for a kidney #transplant. Bernard’s best bet for a transplant is from a living donor due to his particular kidney disease. Bernard inspires us for the way his lives his life, while waiting-working, coaching little league, raising a beautiful family with his wife, never losing faith. But the hardship living life with advanced kidney disease causes continues for him and his family everyday. Because it is not just the patient who suffers. All those that love him suffer too.
How can you help? Become a potential organ donor. It is our hope that each of you signs an organ donor card when you get you driver’s license renewal. That’s how we celebrate kidneys…and not just in March.
