Angelo's Health Journey
“I don’t like asking for help. I’ve always been the one providing for my family. But today, I’m asking for myself, for my wife, and for my kids. With your help, I can keep being the dad and husband they know and love.”
– Joe Angelo Johnson
Angelo's Story
Joe Angelo Johnson is a devoted husband, loving father, and community member whose life has been put on pause by kidney disease. The man who once spent weekends fishing with his kids, working on cars, and planning family adventures now faces his biggest challenge yet.
​
He urgently needs a live kidney donor to continue being here for his wife, children, and the moments still ahead.
You can help — by checking if you’re a match, sharing his story, or supporting donor expenses. Together, we can give Angelo the chance to get back to the life and family he loves.
