Inspirational Stories Section
This is where you will find inspirational stories about people who have been victims of kidney disease and kidney failure but yet are still looking on the bright side of things! It is definitely not easy living with transplant medications, dialysis treatments and even the emotional and social issues that it brings!
However, these people show that all is not lost. With determination and courage and perhaps a little support from your loved ones, you can overcome the obstacles and difficulties that come your way and become an overcomer! After all, by being able to step out of bed, you are already a survivor!
If you would like to share your story with the rest of the world, please feel free to email me your story at stories@kidskidneys.com and I will put it up here for you. Please include your Name and Location so it will make the story a whole lot more personal. And here are some questions that might help you to be able to write out your story.
- How you came to find out about your condition
- The initial trauma and difficulties that you had to face
- Who are the people in your life that helped you to overcome the difficulties
- How are you now
- How you manage to cope
- Some words of advice or a mantra that you live by
Thank you for sharing!

Kim Major Delaney (Southwest Oregon)
It's really nice to see some people who have overcomed kidney failure and are living life to the fullest. For Kim, it was her optimism and the support of the people around her which took her so far and also to be a moderator of a fantastic support mailing list. And you too can be a support for someone else, yes, even if you have kidney failure yourself. Just contribute your story today! Thanks Kim for everything!

This story brought tears to my eyes. I really wonder how can some people show such courage and determination even when the whole world seems against them. A story about a man's intense and immense love for a family that is a must read for all.

Sundi and Carmalita Sims (Charlotte,
NC)
A love story in its own right. Love knows no boundaries and the Sims couple
can certainly testify to that. They have stood strong together and showed
that nothing can break them apart. May your love continue to burn brightly
and strongly Sundi and Carmalita!

This is certainly one strong and fiesty woman. Someone who hasn't given
up on life no matter how difficult her obstacles are. You're someone special
Linda, and a source of inspiration to us all.

Benjamin (Singapore)
The story of the webmaster. Diagnosed with meduallary cystic kidney failure
at the age of 14 years old, Benjy went through dialysis and had a transplant
at the age of 18. All is not smooth when he was found out to have a rare
lymphoma because of the medications but he is still going strong!
