Hello Family & Friends,
As many of you know, I am eagerly and patiently awaiting a kidney transplant. I thank you all in advance for your love and support throughout this journey in my life.

For those of you who are not familiar with my story, here it is:

I was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 16. And for those of you who do not know, Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs). In my case, Lupus has attacked my kidneys. This has resulted in my daily dialysis for the past 6 years. I have faced a lot of trying times because of this, but I will not be defeated!

I am on the transplant waiting list and undergoing all the testing needed before they find the right kidney for me. I will keep you all up to date with where I am in this process. Thank you all for taking the time to read this!
