Hi everyone,

I’m currently on dialysis as I wait for a kidney transplant. It’s been a challenging journey, and while I’m staying hopeful, the treatments are tiring and have taken a real toll on my daily life.

I miss being able to do the little things — enjoying hobbies, being more present with my wife, and spending the kind of time I want to with our two young kids. We have a bright, curious 5-year-old daughter and a busy 2-year-old son who keeps us on our toes. I want to be able to keep up with them and create memories where their dad isn’t too sick to play.

Along with the physical impact, the financial burden has been growing. Between medical bills, travel, and time away from work, it’s becoming a real strain on our family.

We’ve set up this fundraiser to help with those costs. If you’re able to give, share, or even just send a few words of encouragement, it means the world to us.

If you’ve ever considered becoming a living kidney donor, I’d encourage you to learn more and consider getting tested. It’s a life-changing gift — not just for me, but for so many others waiting for a match.

Thank you for your support — it truly makes a difference.

With appreciation,

Brandon
