Kent met Rahwa Daniel on Clubhouse just a couple of months ago. She is a daughter of African immigrants and her kidney journey story is one of great interest. She explains her shock at getting sick at a very young age and finding out that she had FSGS. She had a very rocky course with dialysis and has had multiple transplants. She is actively looking for a living kidney donor so she can get on with her life. Rahwa’s story exemplifies what many CKD patients experience and makes us realize the importance of early detection in managing CKD. Are YOU the one?
Rahwa is registered on the Kidney Transplant Waiting List at John Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, MD. Kidney Donor Program: 410-614-6904. You can also contact E. Miguel Briones Cabrera (Rahwa's coordinator) at Ebrione2@jhmi.edu
