About Me - Tito Needs a Kidney

About Tito

Hi, I’m Tito—a two-time kidney transplant recipient. I’ve been through dialysis, surgeries, and the long road to recovery. This site is where I share what I wish I had known: honest stories, helpful resources, and practical tips for navigating kidney disease and transplant life.

My Journey

My story started when I was diagnosed with kidney failure and began dialysis. After two transplants and countless lessons along the way, I’ve learned how important it is to have clear information and real support. This site combines my personal experience with what I’ve learned from others in the kidney community.

Why This Site Exists

When I was going through dialysis and transplant, I often felt overwhelmed and alone. I created Tito Needs a Kidney to help others avoid that feeling—whether you’re a patient, donor, or caregiver. Here you’ll find knowledge hubs, testimonials, and step-by-step guides designed to make a tough journey a little easier.
