Tyrone became aware of his kidney issues in 2019 and he has recently started home hemodialysis. He enjoys traveling and taking cruises with friends and family, riding motorcycles, and helping others be the best they can be. Will you join us in our mission to find a kidney for Tyrone? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life and the life of his family!
Tyrone 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.
