A letter from Stefan's parents
A parent's wish for their son.
We are writing this letter as parents who want nothing more than to see their child live a long, healthy, and happy life.
Right now, our 29-year-old son Stefan is facing end-stage renal failure and is in need of a life-saving kidney transplant.
If you know Stefan, you know he is someone who is full of life, caring, and selfless. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
He loves playing sports, listening to music, and he would like to get back to traveling.
Watching kidney disease slow him down has been heartbreaking, but his resilience inspires us every single day.
We are looking for a living donor. A living donor transplant offers the best long-term outcome and would allow him to bypass a grueling wait on the deceased donor waiting list.
Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, my husband and I are unable to donate.
This is why we are reaching out to anyone who would be willing to give our son the gift of life.
Asking for a gift of that magnitude is the hardest thing we have ever had to do. But seeing our son Stefan get his health and his life back would be the greatest blessing imaginable.
With deep gratitude,
His parents, Sam and Laverne
