My name is Joe, and I live in NJ. I have been living with kidney disease for many years and finally had to start home dialysis in 2024 as my kidney function declined. I also retired from my job at that time.
I served in Iraq and the NJ National Guard for 20 years. I hoped that in my retirement I would be traveling with my family and enjoying my time, but unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case.
A kidney would be such a blessing and offer me a new lease on life, as dialysis can be very draining on a person. There are many people in need of a kidney, and I am one of them. Thank you for sharing my journey.
