World Kidney Day: Benjamin's Fight for Life & the Gift of Organ Donation
Ahead of World Kidney Day on 13 March, Dee sits down with Benjamin, a resilient Kidney Warrior whose story is a testament to faith, hope, and determination. During a family visit to Barbados in 2020, Benjamin discovered he had dangerously high blood pressure — a moment that would mark the beginning of his kidney disease journey. At the time, Benjamin was already caring for a loved one living with kidney disease, making the diagnosis even more overwhelming. In this inspiring episode, Benjamin shares the emotional and physical challenges of navigating kidney failure, including the shocking reality of seeing his kidney function plummet to just 6%. Through it all, his unwavering faith and the support of his loved ones carried him from dialysis to receiving a life-saving kidney transplant. As World Kidney Day approaches, Benjamin’s story highlights the importance of self-care, early detection, organ donation, and maintaining hope in the face of adversity.
