Nathan's story

Life hasn't always been easy for Nathan, but he's always been able to spread joy.

If you've met Nathan, you remember him. He is charming, big-hearted, funny, and always ready to talk sports, movies, or whatever is going on in your life.

Since birth, Nathan has faced significant health and developmental challenges. Years of therapy, appointments, tests, and medications have never dimmed the joy he brings into a room. Now, Stage 4 chronic kidney disease has put another mountain in front of him.

Nathan now has a living kidney donor. We are deeply grateful for this gift and for everyone who has prayed, shared his story, and supported our family. Please keep Nathan and his donor in your prayers as we look toward transplant.

Inspired to become a donor?

Curious is enough for the first step.

You do not need to decide today that you will donate. Start with the National Kidney Registry's confidential screening and let the medical professionals determine whether donation could be safe for you.

Nathan has a donor, but other families are still waiting. The NKR can help you explore living donation, including paired exchange when someone is not a direct match.
