Looking for a kidney donor
My name is Chris Martin from San Antonio - my friends call me Rebuy. I have polycystic kidney disease, a hereditary condition. My transplant failed in 2025, so I’m back on peritoneal dialysis every night.
It’s been a tough fight, but I’m staying strong and hopeful. A living donor could give me my life back - more energy, freedom, and time with family and friends.
Challenges of dialysis
Dialysis is lifesaving, but it’s really hard:
• Constant fatigue and weakness
• Itching, numbness in my feet, and tremors
• Only 32 oz of liquid a day
• Tied to a machine eight hours every night
• High risk of infections and hospital visits
Benefits of living donation
A living kidney transplant can change everything:
• Much better energy and quality of life
• No more nightly dialysis machine
• Longer life expectancy
• Freedom to work, play, and enjoy every day
Testing is 100% free and quick at Methodist Specialty Transplant Hospital.
