Daronta Briggs
Kidney recipient
Before his transplant at Walter Reed Medical Center in October 2012, Daronta Briggs was receiving dialysis treatments three times a week for four long years. “Receiving a kidney transplant allowed me more time with my family and to focus on new endeavors,” says Daronta. “I am truly forever grateful for the gift of life I received from a selfless donor.” Daronta is now a devoted volunteer and advocate for organ and tissue donation, sharing his story and encouraging others to give the gift of life.
