Brenda B
I am a grandmother to 5 young grandchildren aged 2 to 7. My favourite thing in the world is spending time with my family, especially them.
I am in need of a kidney to extend my life and give me the gift of spending more time with those I love. When not with my grandkids, I enjoy spending time with my husband Ron. We enjoy going for walks in the woods, gardens, and spending time in mother nature in general.
I love listening to music, going on road trips, taking Zumba classes and playing games when I have the opportunity to do so.
For 30 years I worked at the local newspaper in Hamilton and worked my way up to finishing my career as a manager in production. Shortly before my retirement I was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer, but with the help of my medical team I was able to fight and win my battle, being cancer free for almost 6 years now.
I am a fighter, but I am at a point in my journey I need someone to help me fight this battle. I need someone to give me the gift of life by donating me one of their kidneys. I understand what a huge ask this is but I also understand what a huge gift it would be, and me and my entire family would be eternally grateful.
I hope with someone's gift, I will be able to fully enjoy my retirement and finally be able to focus on living life again instead of just trying to save it.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
