Marco is 20 years old and waiting for a kidney transplant. Three years ago, he was a typical teenager who loved to hang out with his friends and play soccer. He could never have imagined the changes his life would take. When he began to feel ill, he wasn't too concerned. However, when his symptoms became progressively worse, he decided to consult a doctor. Nobody was more surprised than Marco when it was discovered he was in kidney failure and would need a transplant. He now goes to dialysis three days each week just to stay alive.
Marco maintains a positive attitude as he looks toward his future. He is currently working and attending college. He hopes to one day run his own automotive shop. He looks forward to the day when he has a transplant and dialysis is no longer necessary.
