My son, Oliver, was born with end-stage renal failure. From the very start of his life, he has faced unimaginable challenges—relying on both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis just to survive. Today, he is in stage 3B kidney failure, and while he continues to fight every day, we know that a kidney transplant will one day be necessary for his future.

Despite the severity of pediatric kidney disease, it doesn’t receive nearly enough recognition or funding. Kidney disease in children is often overshadowed by other conditions, even though it affects thousands of families across the country. Many parents, like myself, find themselves navigating a complex and emotional journey with limited resources, awareness, and support.

That’s why I’m fundraising for the National Kidney Foundation—to raise awareness, fund research, and provide support for families affected by pediatric kidney disease. Every dollar donated helps improve treatments, advance transplant research, and ensure that children like Oliver have the best possible chance at a healthy future.

Please consider donating and sharing this page. Together, we can bring much-needed attention to pediatric kidney disease and give hope to families facing this battle.

Thank you for your support!
