What followed was a journey filled with multiple surgeries, countless medical appointments and a variety of dialysis types and routines that became my new normal. It was not easy. There were hard days. But I kept going.<\/p><p>And today, I am proud \u2014 and humbled \u2014 to share that I have officially qualified to be placed on the kidney transplant list at Henry Ford Hospital.<\/p><p>This is a milestone I have worked incredibly hard to reach, and I could not have gotten here without the love, support and encouragement of so many of you.\u00a0<\/p><p>From the bottom of my heart \u2014 thank you.<\/p><p>But reaching the list is only part of the journey. Now comes the part that is perhaps the most humbling thing I have ever had to do in my life.<\/p><p>I am someone who has always believed in working hard, standing on my own two feet and never asking anyone for anything. And yet, here I am \u2014 asking for something extraordinary.
