Kidney Recipient
For years Gerardo Jimbo had self-medicated his gout condition due to lack of health insurance, which eventually led to kidney failure. After the diagnosis, he endured three years of home dialysis. When no one in his family was willing to donate a kidney, his wife Monica bravely stepped forward. After numerous tests, doctors determined that she was a matching donor. The surgery that saved Gerardo's life was performed on the most appropriate day: Valentine's Day 2024. Today Mónica and Gerardo are strong advocates of organ donation.
