Hi, I’m Danielle Roessle, a military spouse and mother of a one-year-old son. On February 18th, 2025, I received a life-saving kidney transplant—an event that changed my life forever. This is my journey.

I was a healthy, active woman until I gave birth to my son in February 2024. Complications during delivery changed everything—I lost my kidneys and suddenly found myself navigating motherhood while fighting for my life.

Since then, I’ve documented my journey—from surviving dialysis as a new mom to launching a kidney campaign in search of a living donor, to now embracing life post-transplant.

Through my vlogging and writing, I explore not just my own experience but the deeper realities of living with chronic illness, navigating the medical system, and, most importantly, the life-saving impact of organ donation. My hope is to spark deeper reflection, educate, and inspire meaningful conversations.

Whether you’re a friend following my updates, a fellow patient navigating your own journey, or simply curious about the life-changing power of organ donation, I invite you to follow along. It’s been a wild, emotional ride—and I’m just beginning to scratch the surface…
