Living Kidney Donation for Brad Waldron

Hi, my name is Hillary Waldron. I am doing a fundraiser for my brother Brad Waldron who was born with a rare kidney disease. He has been in kidney failure and on dialysis since November 2023. We have been hoping to find him a living kidney donor. There have already been a handful of individuals who have expressed interest that unfortunately have not been a direct match for Brad. In January, Brad found out that he has built up so many antibodies that his chances of finding a direct match is 30%. I believe through the word of mouth, we can find him a kidney.

Brad has continued to work and do all that he can to live a normal life. Due to the challenges that dialysis and his overall health has brought, it has made it difficult for him to continue working full time. We need all the love & support we can get for Brad at this time. The sooner we can find him a match for kidney donation, the better. Those of you who can help in any way, we greatly appreciate it. Brad is a good person, with a kind heart. For the past 12+ years, he has played a big role in the recovery community and has been a blessing in so many lives.

We appreciate your love & support to help get Brad through this bump in the road. If you can't donate money, there are so many other ways you can support. We'd love for you to share that Brad is in search for a living kidney donor. The first indication of being a match is blood type. Brad is type A(-) negative so the donor would need to be either A (+ or -) or O (+ or -). If you or someone you know is interested in being a living kidney donor, you can go to the link below. A lot of good information is provided on what goes into donating a kidney. There is also a screening you can take to find out if you are a good candidate to donate.

Thank you for the continual love & support!
