Roderick's Kidney Journey

💚 KIDNEY TRANSPLANT AWARENESS 💚

Most people don’t realize how life-changing the gift of a kidney can be until someone they love is waiting for one.

Kidney disease doesn’t take days off. Dialysis, doctor appointments, medications, bloodwork, and the constant waiting become a part of everyday life. Behind every person waiting for a kidney transplant is a family hoping and praying for that one special call. 🙏🏽

Please consider becoming an organ donor or living kidney donor. One decision can completely change someone’s life and give them the opportunity for more birthdays, more memories, and more time with the people they love.

💚 Share this post. Spread awareness. Learn about kidney donation.

You never know whose miracle may be waiting on someone just like you.

I have dialysis this morning. My energy is low but I am hoping to feel better after. Ready for the weekend.

💚 Did you know? Children on dialysis often spend 10–12 hours each week connected to a machine that helps do the job their kidneys can no longer perform.

A kidney transplant can offer many children a healthier, more active life and reduce their dependence on dialysis. Organ donation truly has the power to change a child's future. 💚

It has been a long hard journey so far, but I am staying positive that I will find a match. With Father's Day approaching, I am missing my grandpa who was a big supporter during my journey until he passed away January 20th. Things are not the same but I will continue to fight and make him proud.

💚 A fact that changed the way we look at kidney disease: You can lose a significant amount of kidney function before symptoms ever appear which is why awareness matters so much.

Watching Roderick’s kidney journey has shown us that strength doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like appointments, waiting, hope, courage, and showing up one day at a time.

Kidney disease affects millions of people, and every journey looks different. One thing we’ve learned is to celebrate the good days, lean on support during the hard days, and never underestimate the power of resilience.

Please continue to keep Roderick and all families walking this journey in your thoughts. 💚🩺✨

Roderick’s kidney journey has shown us just how precious life, health, and second chances truly are. 💚

There are so many people waiting every single day for a donor including Roderick. Waiting for hope, for healing, and for more time with the people they love. Becoming an organ donor can literally save lives and change entire families forever.

A kidney donor doesn’t just give an organ… they give birthdays, graduations, memories, laughter, and more moments that otherwise may not have been possible.

If you’ve ever considered becoming a donor, take the time to learn about it. One selfless decision can create a lifetime of impact. Please keep Roderick and everyone fighting kidney disease in your prayers. 🙏💚
