The PAIRED EXCHANGE, Introduction to MY DONOR, & MORE...

[@stayygoldd]

Thank you for sharing! I will be donating in a paired exchange September 12th 😊

[@DawnRaven]

That's actually around the exact time Keisha donated and I received in 2021. You'll be donating on our 2 year anniversary! I appreciate your selflessness and good luck to you!

So very beautiful. I'm in need of a kidney. Currently on hemo. Hoping to switch to PD. Still believing God, rather He restores my own kidneys or blesses me thru transplant. Blood type is A+, female, 37 years old. Your story hits super close to home and gives me hope. Today, I was feeling kinda low and happened to come across your channel. This is the second video I watched because I was looking for an update to see how you were. So thrilled for you. The first video was of you showing the process of PD! God is able! I'm still here. He hasn't brought me this far to leave me. Believing for healing for all of us with this issue and any others. Much love. Be encouraged💙

This is so heart warming. We are well into testing for the paired exchange. Unfortunately my husband isn't a match to me, due to me having a high number of antibodies, so we are going forward with the paired exchange as long as his last few tests are good. We are back off to hospital on Tuesday for his next test. Any one who chooses to donate this way, it's such a selfless act and really are true angels. Words can never explain how grateful we are. xx

[@DawnRaven]

My sentiments exactly. Your case is similar to what mine was due to my high number of antibodies

What a great outlook on life ❤

I’m in the beginning stages of the paired exchange program. My bestie of 30 years is going through the process with me. I am going to share this video with her. Thank you both for sharing your stories. It answered so many questions and gave me so much hope.

[@DawnRaven]

I'm very happy to hear that, let us know if either of you have questions along the way!

[@patricianelson3312]

Dawn, Thank you for your videos. I wish I would have found you a few years ago. I was on PD also and then received a living donor transplant from a friend. It's been 1 1/2 years now since the transplant and I'm doing great. I am, however, still having pain where my PD catheter exited my abdomen. Did you have any issues like that? Thank you.

[@-letsdoitNatasja01_]

This is so inspiring. Seeing beauty and kindness. Thank you so much for donating.

Hi. My brother is currently diagnosed with ckd. His creatine level is at 21. The doctor does an ultrasound and find out that his kidney is super small and that he really need to undergo dialysis. Me and my family is very scared because his the very 1st time to undergo dialysis plus he is only 18 years old. He is our youngest, only boy,

[@DawnRaven]

If he has the right care he will be just fine. Don't worry, have some faith and make sure you support him as much as possible.

Hello from Guam. im currently a Hemodialysis patient with ESRD in the process of transitioning to PD home dialysis; ive been watching your videos since i got on Hemodialysis in October of 2023 and you have got me through my lowest days. I'm a father of 5 children and the thought of my life being over and my children still so young really put me in a dark place. I just want to say thank you for helping me through it all. my question is, if my sibling wanted to donate a kidney to me would their kidney be given to me or no? also how long is the process having a donor who wants to give you their kidney?

[@DannyxDang]

Wow god blessed you both🙏❤️

[@UsmanSadiq303]

I am also CKD patient from Pakistan, I had transplant in 2019 but it not succeed, Now i am on Dialysis and thinking about Peritoneal dialysis... Found your videos by chance

[@goodness_graciousme]

Currently, my eGFR reading is at 10% 😢 i felt so depressed knowing that dialysis would be the next step. I had CKD since I was diagnosed with lupus, which affected my kidneys, and after contracting covid in 2022 the reading went so low and continued to deteriorate further. I really want a kidney transplant, but its so hard to get donor 😭😭

[@shiprabiswas6016]

A donor is no less than god itself......ask me about it!

[@karlsmith7016]

My brother refused to donate to me and no other family are able to do so. Hard not to be upset with him

[@shirleypetty9727]

My husband was a match for me but then they told him he couldn't do it cuz he got a disability check
