My name is Tristian Wallace. I’ve been living with chronic kidney disease and on dialysis for nearly six years. Dialysis has kept me alive, but it has also left me weak, underweight, and constantly exhausted.

Until now, my focus has been survival — getting through each month, staying consistent with treatment, and holding onto dignity. But there is a real possibility that a transplant opportunity could come, and when it does, readiness will matter as much as hope.

A transplant is not just surgery. It requires immediate financial stability for evaluations, travel, medications, post-transplant care, and recovery time. Right now, I can survive month to month, but I am not prepared to act quickly if that life-changing call comes.

Your support helps me continue treatment today and prepare responsibly for the possibility of a future beyond dialysis. This is not about comfort or excess — it is about being ready when life offers a door.

Every bit counts. And preparedness can change everything.
