Chana Fogel — Kidney Search Foundation

Who Am I?

I am a loving, caring, thoughtful, sensitive person, who always goes out of my way to help others. I believe laughter can help brighten up one’s day, even the darkest days when coping with this disease. I am very compassionate and would love to make a deep impact in the world we live in today by sharing my story. I moved to South Carolina all alone for a transplant with no family. I lost my father a few years ago and my mother lives in a different country. It’s safe to say I am on my own, and very scared. I am seeking a living donor who will be willing to give me a second chance at life. If this sounds like something you are willing to do, please consider contacting my medical team for information. They would be happy to answer any questions you may have about me and/or the donation process

My Interests:

I enjoy spending time with my friends, tasting new foods, sitting at a coffee shop with a good book, self-care is extremely important to me and traveling. I mostly enjoy being surrounded with water and the sun.

My Diagnosis:

IgA Nephropathy

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

Having a kidney transplant will allow me to have a second chance at life. A life full of energy and joy, and most importantly it will allow me not to feel like a prisoner in my own body. I will be able to enjoy a better quality of life which will permit me to feel "normal" again. Having a second chance at life will allow me to put all fears aside as it pertains to having a family and becoming a mother.
