I was diagnosed with kidney failure from Lupus when I was 11. I had my first kidney transplant from my mom in 1999 when I was 13. I am now back on dialysis at age 31 waiting for another kidney donor match to come through UCLA. It's definitely a struggle but I'm surviving. #KidneyWarrior #Kidney4Ashley
