Fighting for My Health, My Sanity, and a Second Chance at Life

Hi, my name is Danny. I’m writing this with vulnerability, urgency, and the deep hope that someone out there will hear my heart.

Right now, I’m in the fight of my life battling end-stage kidney disease, undergoing dialysis five times a week, and working through the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll that comes with it. I previously underwent a kidney transplant that, heartbreakingly, failed. I’m now actively working to get back on the transplant list, doing everything in my power to stay eligible and stay hopeful for another chance.

Each day, I’m choosing to fight. I’m showing up to every treatment. I’m staying enrolled in school, pursuing my certification to become a pharmacy technician. I’m doing everything I can to hold on to my future—but the weight of it all is heavy.

Recently, in the midst of these medical battles, my car was repossessed after just one missed payment. I immediately contacted my lender, explained my situation, and asked for grace—but they refused to negotiate or reinstate the loan. I now have until August 12th to pay $3,692.39 in full, or I’ll lose my car permanently.

This isn’t just about a car—it’s about my survival, independence, and mental health.

That car is how I get to dialysis—how I get to class, the store, appointments, and the few peaceful moments I carve out to clear my head and reset. It’s not a luxury—it’s a lifeline. And losing it has left me feeling trapped, vulnerable, and overwhelmed at a time when I need all the strength and support I can get.

I’m not asking for pity—I’m asking for a lifeline. If you’ve ever been in a season where everything felt like too much, I hope you’ll see yourself in my story and feel called to help.

I’m choosing life, every single day. I believe God still has a calling on my life—that even in this season of pain, purpose is being shaped. But I can’t do this alone.

Please consider donating whatever you can, or sharing this with someone who may feel moved to support. Every dollar, every share, and every prayer brings me closer to reclaiming not just my car, but my peace, my purpose, and my future.

With deep gratitude and faith,

Danny
