Felix Needs a Kidney Donor

Follow my journey as I search for a kidney donor

About me

I’m 54 and as someone who has been an athlete all my life, never broken a bone, never smoked, never been drunk, asking for help to save my life is difficult.
I am an only child. I am a loyal person who has lived a relatively “boring”, normal life. I have worked in the entertainment industry for 30+ years. For the past 20 I’ve worked for Walt Disney World. I was previously married for 20 years, and have been remarried for a few years. I am an extremely shy person. Becoming a photographer was a way to connect with people when I was younger by hiding behind the camera, while being in the middle of the action. Who knew that would provide me with a career that has allowed me to photograph families during many of the happiest days of their lives. It gives me a great deal of joy when someone is proud to hang a photo of mine on their wall. I had always wanted to travel but it was impossible when I was younger. I finally had the opportunity to travel to Italy & Greece and hoped it was the beginning of being able to see much more of the world. Having CKD has stopped my ability to do many of the things that I took for granted when I was younger. Being able to participate in sports, to be a photographer and to travel. When you can’t rely on your body to do the simple things in life, it can be very difficult. Finding a living donor would allow me to live the rest of my life with my family and loved ones and I hope to be able to resume doing the things that I had planned.
