Your story

Not sure where to start? Answer as many of these as you like, in any order. A few sentences for each is plenty. I will help shape it into a finished story, so spelling and grammar don't need to be perfect.

How did you first learn you needed a transplant, or start dialysis?
What has daily life been like since then? Think about work, family, hobbies, and the things you miss.
What do you most want people to know about you?
What do you need from a donor, or from the community?
What are you hoping for after transplant?

Your story * Most stories are between 300 and 1,500 words. Shorter is fine to start.

Photos: please email a photo separately to stories@kidneyfor.me. Do not include medical records.

Permissions

I understand my story will be public on the internet once it is approved and published.

I have permission to share any photos, names, and details of other people in my story.

I understand kidneyfor.me is a patient-led platform, not a medical provider, and donation decisions are made by my transplant center.
