Hey there, folks! I’m Patrick Rogers, the proud owner of Gifting of a Lifetime Experience, or as we like to call it, GOALIFE! And boy, am I thrilled to share my incredible journey with all of you wonderful people out there.
You see, my mission is to make a difference in the lives of transplant patients. But here’s the twist – I’m not just the owner of GOALIFE, I’m also a patient myself in desperate need of a new heart and kidney. Currently, I’m on dialysis and taking strong heart medication to combat those pesky heart attacks.
Now, let’s rewind the clock a bit. At a tender age of 19, I was hit with the news of having Glomerulonephritis, a kidney disease that turned my world upside down. Dialysis became a regular part of my life, but that wasn’t the end of the story. Nope, I then had to face not one, not two, but three heart attacks! Can you imagine the rollercoaster ride my life became? But hey, I’m still standing here, spreading positivity and living to tell the tale.
Just when things seemed bleak, a glimmer of hope appeared in the form of a hospital foundation that provided financial support for my kidney transplant. It was a success! However, my body decided to play the rejection game, and I found myself back on dialysis. And if that wasn’t enough, I was also told that I needed a new heart. Phew, talk about a wild ride!
But guess what? I never let these setbacks dampen my spirits. Oh no, not me! I gathered a team of incredible individuals to assist me in birthing GOALIFE. Our aim? To support those facing medical and mental health challenges. And you know what? I also happen to serve as the Chair of GOALIFE’s board, leading the charge as we make waves in communities far and wide.
Now, here’s the exciting part – I’m still waiting for that second chance, that magical moment when I receive my much-needed kidney and heart transplants. Why? Because I’ve got a little boy who’s growing up way too fast, and I want to be there every step of the way. My story is often hailed as a testament to resilience, determination, and the incredible strength that love and community can provide.
So, my friends, let my journey be a beacon of hope for you all. Never, and I mean never, lose hope. Embrace compassion, stand tall in the face of adversity, and remember that there’s always a silver lining waiting to be discovered. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can spread joy and support those who need it most. Let’s do this, with a smile on our faces and love in our hearts!
