Juana Nolasco Hortelano, 25, is currently in peritoneal dialysis for stage 5 end-stage kidney disease. Juana has been undergoing peritoneal dialysis for about a year and a half and is in dire need of a kidney transplant to survive. Despite these challenges, Juana remains hopeful—because she knows that a kidney could give her life back. A transplant would not just free her from the dialysis machine; it would restore her energy, independence, and ability to dream about the future again.
