🎉 HUGE Congratulations to Our Warrior, Joe Gallina

A new door just opened — and he walked straight through it.

Because of the recent passing of the HEART ACT, Joe was officially able to list at another transplant center — NYU! 🇺🇸💚

This is massive for any kidney warrior, and especially for someone fighting through kidney failure with the determination Joe shows every single day. Anyone who’s lived this battle knows the level of discipline and sacrifice it takes to:

✔️ Keep your body in transplant-ready shape
✔️ Stay eligible and ACTIVE on the living donor transplant list
✔️ Navigate evaluations, labs, setbacks, and endless appointments
✔️ Keep your mental health strong through the wait

Joe — your perseverance, strength, and relentless drive are exactly what stands for. You’re showing the world what a true warrior looks like.

On behalf of all of us at The Enlisted Kidney Foundation, we’re proud of you and honored to walk this journey with you. This is a MAJOR step toward the miracle you deserve.

Let’s all show Joe some love below. 👇💚
Keep fighting. Keep pushing. The best is ahead.
