1. Damn that’s rough! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

2. “… Through the winter, the solution emerged for Justin: Jeff Hart, the husband of Gina’s childhood best friend, Chrissy, passed the screening process and became eligible to donate his kidney into the national registry. That allowed Justin to move up the list, find a match and get a date set for his transplant: April 2.”

   All three kids have it as well, would need multiple transplants by the age of 30. 😔 😢

3. Prayers up for Zanik and his family 🙏🏽

4. Jesus, the whole family needs new kidneys? That’s brutal.

5. April… Fools? 👍

6. Yo what the fuck that’s terrible. I didn’t realize he had any health issues

7. I’m a kidney donor. If anyone is exploring becoming a donor, feel free to ask me any questions – either here or in DMs.

   I consider it one of the best things I’ve ever done, and it’s had almost no impact on my day-to-day life.
