UPDATE FROM TREVOR!

A long overdue thank you to everyone for their support since my last post. I'd much rather be behind the camera than in front of it but I felt like this was one of the best ways to express my gratitude to this amazing community. I've had several messages requesting an update in my transplant process. However as far as updates go unfortunately I don't have very much to share. In the beginning of September I got a letter from my health insurance saying Stanford would no longer be in network ????. 30 days later Blue Cross and Stanford made up and thankfully Stanford is back in network ????. That would have been a major flipping headache because I'd have to start the whole process over again at a new transplant center. I don't have very much to share in terms of finding a match/donor but the balling is rolling. I do know a handful of people who have filled out the transplant questionnaire and at least one person who was tested and sent their results to Stanford. My fingers continue to stay crossed. Thank you all for your continued support.

Trevor is a friend of the show and he’s also the guy who brought you THIS photo:

Yes, TREVOR TOOK IT!! The photo that brought down an entire music festival…

Anyway, he needs help. Trevor needs a kidney transplant and he wrote about it on his latest Instagram post:
This post is about to get pretty real. If you don’t want to read a book here’s the short version: I need a kidney transplant. If you are interested in becoming my donor click the link in my bio. You’ll fill out a questionnaire from Stanford Healthcare in which you can specify that you are attempting to become a potential donor for, me, Trevor DeHaas 01/02/1990.

This post is about to get pretty real. If you don't want to read a book here's the short version: I need a kidney transplant. If you are interested in becoming my donor click the link in my bio. You'll fill out a questionnaire from Stanford Healthcare in which you can specify that you are attempting to become a potential donor for, me, Trevor DeHaas 01/02/1990. Okay now the long version: I've been pretty distant from this app for a while now. I've wanted to explain why but fear has prevented me from doing so. So many times I've tried to post but the words escaped me. My thumbs turn to jello and my brain shuts down. However @ruffwear recently shared my story which has given me enough confidence to finally talk more about my situation. I need a kidney transplant. There I said it. Or technically typed it, but same difference right? I've hinted at needing a transplant here and there on this app without officially saying those five words. However I can't keep wasting precious time that I could be using to spread awareness. I'm used to sharing stories on social media but not like this. I'd rather camp naked in mosquito territory, eat 10 pounds of chalk, or watch the eagles lose a superbowl before I tell some random strangers on the internet I need a kidney transplant. However if there's even a 00.00000001% chance that I find a donor from posting this then it will all be worth it. What do I have to lose right? I've talked about needing a kidney transplant in the past but it's only been recently that I now actually need one. For the last 19 years I thought I was prepared for this inevitable surgery...on the rare occasion that I would actually tell someone I needed a transplant I would say it so casually like it was as simple as getting a root canal. It's not, it's a big f*cking deal. It's life altering. That reality is really starting to sink in. Continued in the comments...
