Hope for Jonathan-Give the Gift of Life is about my personal journey to find a living donor for a kidney transplant. Also to keep everyone up to date with my health. The website is here to provide a resource of information regarding  a living donor for kidney transplant.

My Story

Hello,

​

I'm Jonathan, I'm a Father of 2 beautiful children and a Husband to Melissa and on July 8th, 2019 my kidneys failed me completely. 

​

I was flighted by helicopter to Methodist in San Antonio from Kerrville, Texas because I was in renal failure and needed dialysis.

​

After landing in San Antonio at Methodist, my heart went into a cardiac event and required shock paddles to regain proper rhythm.

​

I woke up in the ICU 3 days later after many hours of dialysis to get 35 pounds off of my body. My family and friends went to prayer for me and i survived this event. Only by the Grace of God. 

​

I left Methodist 2 weeks later to continue Hemo dialysis treatment 3 days a week 4 hrs long at Davita in Kerrville. 

​

I am currently transplant ready and I'm following a strict diet. fluid restriction, and exercise plan. Dialysis is a temporary fix for a lifelong problem. I'm looking for my Hero. I'm looking for a Donor.
