Hi Everyone!

For those of you that don’t know me personally, and for those of you who do, I want to thank you for taking an interest in my life and my journey to wellness. I am 28 years old, single, and have been graced with an incredible circle of love and support from both my family and friends. Those closest to me have witnessed my struggle from the age of 16 when I was diagnosed with Type I Juvenile Diabetes, my many battles with this disease, and my current diagnosis of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). My family sees me as courageous, strong, and optimistic as I have gone through the rigors of dialysis for the past two years. I see myself as I see others afflicted with the same challenges – hopeful, thankful, and excited to think I will have the chance to overcome these challenges and begin a new life.
