BRENDAN O’BRYANT
USMC 2005-2018
I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, I am an only child, but I have a large family. Unfortunately, all of my family members are not able to donate, due to age or health issues.
My mother was a Jarhead which is why I chose to join the Marine Corps. I am a combat veteran with 8 combat tours to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Cuba, and Turkey.
I have been on dialysis since August 2022 and have been listed to receive a kidney transplant since August 2023. Currently I do perineal dialysis at home. This makes me able to be productive and still work at a gun store part time, which I really enjoy.
I enjoy exercising, skateboarding, and spending time with my mother, who is in a battle of her own with lung cancer. My favorite food is crayons!
OOHRAH!
For medically cleared donors, giving the gift of life through living kidney donation has been proven to be very safe. DOVE will assist all prospective donors throughout the process and make sure they do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to the evaluation or surgery. A healthy person can live a normal life with one kidney and save Raul‘s life with the other!
Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life and the life of his family!
