PATIENTS SEEKING DONORS

Johnny W

Johnny W

I'm Johnny and I am hoping for a kidney transplant.

I was a pressman for a large unionized printing company for 46 years. I am retired now but my vision of an active retired life is unfortunately on hold because of kidney disease.

I have one daughter who has mental health issues. She lives in Peterborough and I live in Mississauga. Being on dialysis for five days a week makes it impossible fo me to spend meaningful time with her. I also found my two granddaughters recently. My wife is living with cancer but she’s stable and works full-time. She’s my only support. I enjoy looking after my two cats, listening to the music from the 60s and 70s and watching game shows and old sitcoms.

I would love to support my daughter more and spend time with my granddaughters but dialysis makes day to day tasks let alone day trips, very difficult. I would love to have a kidney transplant so I could have more energy and freedom and could move forward with a active and fulfilling retirement I always hoped for. If you are interested in being a living donor, please reach out to me.
