One of our band member’s Grandson is in need of a kidney. Please share and help find him a match!

Hi! I'm Ethan.

I'm 6 years old and I'm getting ready for Grade 2.
I love LEGO, building cool things, riding my scooter, playing rugby, soccer and basketball, and beating people at UNO (most of the time 😉).
When I grow up, I want to be a carpenter just like my dad.

Right now, I'm also waiting for something really important—a living kidney donor.

This page was created to share my story, answer questions about living kidney donation, and hopefully find the person who can change my life.

Thanks for being here. 💚
