“Get the Facts! Get Checked! Get Healthy!” About Kidney Disease

I partnered with this brand in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Did you know that 1 in 10 people have kidney disease? That is an estimated 26 million Americans! There are also 120,000 people currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant in the United States.

With May and June hosting National Women’s Healthy Awareness Week and Men’s Health Awareness Month, it is no better time to start thinking about your health.

Paul Rodriguez and Gloria Garayua, the stars of the Mendez National Institute of Transplantation Foundation (MNITF) multi-award-winning patient education series Fixing Pacostar in a public service announcement to deliver a strong call-to-action about kidney disease prevention and the need for organ donation.

Want to learn more about kidney disease?

On the FixingPaco.org website, the general public can get information about kidney disease and prevention, becoming an organ donor, and kidney transplantation. The web series provides a comprehensive education about being proactive in one’s healthcare. There is also information how to access transplantation, what it takes to maintain transplant and how a positive attitude can create the power of hope. The groundbreaking series cuts through language barriers as a man, Paco, triumphs in battling his disease and learns to live again.

Who is Paco?

Paco Fuentes is a husband, father and successful handyman who experiences kidney failure. The web series follows Paco and his family in each episode as he goes through his illness. It shows how a family deals with the illness and aims to educate others about it.

Honestly, I could definitely learn more about kidney disease and I’m sure I am not alone. I had no idea that many people were affected. Just hearing that 1 in 10 people are affected means that I have good odds of knowing someone affected.

Kidney disease can occur without signs or symptoms.

Take a few minutes to learn more by visiting FixingPaco.org. Your kidneys will thank you!
