Hello, my name is Brian! My family and I are looking for a "Live Kidney Donor Hero." We are just in the beginning stages of searching, even though I have been on dialysis for approximately 2 years now. In my early years, I served our country as a Marine, and to this day, I am a proud service-connected disabled veteran. I am a hardworking, honest, loyal family man hoping to find a miracle.
I have a love of sports of all kinds, especially football (player, high school coach, and fan), baseball, hockey, and softball (I was my daughter's coach for her entire softball career). I have dedicated my life to coaching young men and women in sports. I have touched many lives and have been a positive influence on many. I strive to live each day with a never-give-up attitude. I am always a fighter. I have been a firefighter my entire life, from the time I could volunteer until the day I was able to retire (medically). If it wasn't for becoming sick, I would still be firefighting today—it's my passion.
Once I am transplanted, I wish to travel, go fishing, swimming, attend sporting events, and enjoy family functions. Your compassion and donation are something WE desire as a family. Please just take a moment to get tested to see if you could potentially be a live kidney donor! My family and I would greatly appreciate it if you would share this with as many people as possible so you can help us all in need. Thank you for taking the time to get to know about myself and my family.
Will you join DOVE in our mission to find a kidney for me? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on my life and the life of my family!
Brian has enlisted the help of a Veteran's organization called DOVE Transplant which is helping in his outreach to find his life-saving kidney donor. DOVE will assist all prospective donors throughout the process and make sure they do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to the evaluation or surgery.
A healthy person can live a normal life with one kidney and save this Veteran's life! Please click on the link below if you would like to learn more OR call (551) 233-1611.
