After Karin was diagnosed with severe kidney failure, her body continued to deteriorate. She remembers getting to a point that her “blood sugar was so brittle that [she] didn’t know if [she] would wake up.”

But, Karin was lucky. She received a kidney donation from a living donor – her father. Check out this video to learn more about her health and transplantation journey. And, read more about the process of becoming a living donor here.
