Nia’s Transplant Road to Recovery
Hello everyone, as most of you know, I was diagnosed with renal failure in January 2012, of my junior year in high school and in December 2018 my kidneys finally decided to fail and I ended up on hemodialysis. For the past five years, I have consistently been attending treatments, going to doctors appointments and trying to to become a transplant candidate so that I can finally live a normal healthy life. With lots of trials and tribulations I have been turned away multiple times, due to complications with other health issues.
Finally, I have been able to keep my underlying health issues at bay and am now cleared to be transplanted.

On May 4th, 2024, I completed my very last dialysis treatment and on May 6th my brother blessed me by becoming my donor. I am so grateful and full of love and appreciation for the sacrifices made by my loved ones to ensure that I live a longer healthier life.
Now, I can finally start envisioning and putting into action my future and all of the things I’ve dreamt of doing. I am no longer bound by a dialysis machine, I can now live a life free from constant medical interventions and limitations. I am filled with gratitude towards my medical team, my brother, and all the loved ones who came and supported me through this journey. I know that recovery won't be easy, but I am determined to make the most of this second chance at life. I am filled with hope, optimism, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter, and I am ready to embrace it with open arms.
