My son was born with Dent Disease, a rare x-linked kidney disease that was passed from my father through me to him. When he needed a new kidney, I decided to be tested in hope that I could donate indirectly to him because we do not share the same blood type.

I applied to be a donor on December 20, 2018, and was approved on July 23, 2019. A donor was quickly found for my son, and he received a new kidney near the end of October. I donated mine to a stranger on December 17, 2019.

These paintings document testing, donating, and recuperation, as a kidney donor.
