Kidney Recipient
Social media saved Daniel. Daniel Kushnick had a 30+ year career in film/video production, then helped low-income people in NY State save on their energy bills. He was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), progressing to stage five CKD. While Daniel was undergoing dialysis training, a kidney donor stepped forward, thanks to a social media campaign. He volunteers for NKF’s PEERs mentoring program and on an environmental committee. Dan seeks to help other patients and expand awareness about kidney disease.
