Meet friend of the show, Bob from Richboro! We became friends with Bob after doing a Cup o’ Joy story about an amazing dad that donated his kidney to his son after losing 100 lbs in order to do so.

Bob donated one of his kidneys and saved a life. He has made it his mission to help spread the importance of organ donation working with the great group called Kindeys For Kenny.

How Can I Donate A Kidney?

George Trabosh, like so many others, is in desperate need of a kidney with his only functioning at about 5% after his diagnosis with Stage 5 Hereditary Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). The disease worsens kidney function over time and can cause the kidneys to not work well enough to keep someone alive.

Thank you in advance you are taking the steps to find out if you could be a match for George.

Dad Donates Kidney to Son - Listener Bob Shares His Story

Dad donates kidney to son, but had to lose nearly 80 pounds to do it. Read the story here and scroll down to hear listener Bob’s amazing story.

When a Canadian dad was told he needed to lose weight to save his son, he didn’t just step up to the challenge – he crushed it. According to CBC, Daniel Kablutsiak lost 79 pounds in order to become an organ donor for his teenage son, Hunter. The 16-year-old was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney disease in 2020, and a new kidney would greatly improve his quality of life.

The Story:

Daniel wanted to donate his kidney to Hunter. He wanted to fill the role of dad donates kidney to son. But at 274 pounds, he would need to lose at least 74 pounds to qualify as a donor. Through “determination, love, and stubbornness,” he focused on diet and exercise. He cut back on sugar and walked at least three miles every day or hit the gym when it was too cold or when polar bears were on the prowl (a common problem in their Canadian village). Daniel reached his goal in 13 months, weighing in at 195 pounds.

Daniel is accepted:

In March, Daniel was accepted as an organ donor for Hunter, and the life-saving transplant is scheduled for June. The news has already had a positive effect on Hunter. “His spirit went up, his energy,” Daniel says. “I can see the glow in his face like some kind of relief or something.” Daniel continues his healthier lifestyle and hopes to inspire others facing challenges to make necessary changes in their lives. “Whatever it is, just put your mind into it and go for it,” he says. “If I can do it, anybody else can do it.”

Perhaps you have “Organ Donor” on your drivers license. That means you agree for your organs to be harvested in the event of your death. Country star Granger Smith‘s little boy’s organs were used to save the lives of two adults.
