My name is Larry Christia, and I retired as an E6 after serving 20 years in the US Navy as an Aircraft Mechanic. I served on different aircraft carriers and smaller military ships, and I did a tour in the Persian Gulf. I was also deployed on ships to the Western Pacific, including Japan, Philippines, India, Hong Kong and Thailand to name a few.

I am divorced and have been blessed with one son and one grandchild. Right now, I am still working for the government as a supply tech after the military wanted to stay busy and be productive. I love being around people and getting things done.

I was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2022 and have been on hemodialysis for two years now. I am still able to get around fine, and I do the best I can. I would like to get back to enjoying life and having the freedom to travel and take vacations. With the gift of a kidney, I would also like to get back to fishing and enjoying the outdoors!

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 Larry’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!
