My Fight for Life: Living With Kidney Failure

My Story

My name is Tristian Wallace.

Six years ago, kidney failure changed my life.

Since then, dialysis has kept me alive. Twice every week, I spend hours connected to a machine that does the work my kidneys can no longer do. It is exhausting, restrictive, and at times overwhelming, but it has given me the chance to keep fighting.

Dialysis is not a cure.

It is a lifeline that keeps me going while I work toward the opportunity that could change everything: a kidney transplant.

Living With Kidney Failure

When my kidneys failed, my future suddenly became uncertain.

The routines most people take for granted—eating freely, traveling, making plans without thinking about treatments—became much more complicated. Dialysis now shapes every week of my life.

But I refused to let kidney disease completely define me.

I chose to keep creating, keep learning, and keep moving forward.

Why I Write

Writing became more than a hobby.

It became a way to keep hope alive.

During dialysis and through difficult days, I began writing stories and publishing books. Writing gave me purpose when so much felt out of my control.

Every reader, every review, and every book sold reminds me that there is still something meaningful I can contribute to the world.

The Final Stretch

After six years on dialysis, transplant evaluations are underway and, for the first time, a transplant feels genuinely within reach.

My current goal is to raise $20,000 to help prepare for transplant-related expenses and the financial challenges that come with this life-changing surgery.

This is not just another monthly goal.

It is the final major goal standing between years of dialysis and the chance at a healthier future.

For so long, a transplant felt like a distant dream. Today, it feels possible.

My Hope

My hope is simple:

To successfully receive a kidney transplant, recover, and finally begin the next chapter of my life.

Every person who reads my story, shares it, buys a book, or offers support helps move that dream closer to reality.
