Happy Valentine’s Day 💗

Today we’re celebrating the many ways love shows up in the kidney community — from living donors who give the ultimate gift, to caregivers who stand by their loved ones, to advocates working to raise awareness about kidney disease.

Love is powerful. Love saves lives. And together, we can turn compassion into action by spreading awareness, supporting patients and families, and championing the gift of life.

"My mom gave me life in the winter of 1966. Nearly 30 years later, I was able to give life back to her.
In 1995, she needed a kidney transplant, and I was a match. I was 28 years old, with a two-year-old child at home, and I was about to undergo a seven-hour surgery with no guaranteed outcome. It was scary. It was overwhelming. But the truth is, none of that mattered. The thought of losing my mom was far more frightening than anything else. The idea that Mother’s Day could become something we only remembered, instead of celebrated, was something I couldn’t accept.
My mom was extraordinary. She was fierce, brilliant, and full of energy. A five-foot-three redhead with piercing blue eyes and a smile that could light up any room. She traveled the world, spoke multiple languages, and embraced everything life had to offer. She worked hard, played harder, and found joy in even the smallest moments.
She was so many things to so many people — a mother, a sister, a friend, a business owner, and a confidant. But one of her greatest joys was being Nana to her five grandchildren, her “jewels.” She made each of them feel special, loved, and seen. She had that gift with everyone in her life. If you were in her circle, you were lucky.
Through it all, she carried herself with strength, character, and grace. She never complained. She never asked, “Why me?” She didn’t let her disease define her. Instead, she chose to live fully and love fiercely.
I miss her every single day. Especially in May, when Mother’s Day is everywhere I turn. But my relationship with her didn’t end — it simply changed. I still carry her with me. In my strength. In my resilience. In my gratitude. She gave me a foundation built on love and courage, and that is something I will hold onto forever.
Being able to give her more time — more memories, more laughter, more moments together — will always be one of the greatest honors of my life."

Thank you Randi for sharing your kidney connection story. 🧡
