How the Hope of a New Kidney Began the Journey for a Whole New Life: Wilson Du's Transplant Story

When Wilson Du was diagnosed with Stage 5 renal failure, he was over 350 pounds and had blood pressure so high his doctors wouldn't let him leave the hospital. Wilson had never paid much attention to his health before, but knowing a kidney transplant was life-or-death, he focused on getting healthy. Now, post-transplant, he is the strongest he has ever been physically, mentally, and emotionally, and he is fulfilling a promise he made to God: helping other kidney patients in a similar position. "The most fulfilling and rewarding thing in my life is to see these patients get better, to help them have some control over their lives," he says. "That was the hope I was looking for, and now I am trying to bring that hope to the whole world."
