Get to know Andrew

Andrew might be small, but he’s tough. And he’s now a candidate for a donated kidney.

He’s a hardworking lawyer. A voracious reader. A kitchen master. A caring husband and dad. A good-natured son. An encouraging brother and friend. He’s funny. He’s our dog’s favorite person.

And if he felt better, he’d be all of those things and more.

Born in New York, he’s lived in Providence, Rhode Island for the past 16 years. He’s faced multiple health issues with strength and tenacity, and those who’ve been along for the ride know that he doesn’t want attention. He just wants to be healthy.

Since a hospital stay in July 2023, it’s been clear: his kidneys haven’t been functioning well. He’s been through testing at Rhode Island Hospital’s Transplant Center, and the team believes he’s a strong candidate for kidney donation. He’s now officially on the waitlist for a kidney, but that could take years. A donated living kidney would be life-changing.
