Aaron

Kidney recipient and awaiting another lifesaving gift

Hello my name is Aaron Thacker and I’m currently waiting on a kidney transplant. I’ve been on dialysis for the last 18 months and it’s been very difficult to say the least. My fiancĂ©, Jenn has helped me out so much during this trying time but I continue to lose weight and have secondary issues from this disease.

We have a wonderful family of 4 furbabies and a rabbit, I want to get healthy so I can be there for them. I have been at my full time job for 15 years now and I started my Pressure Washing company, Performance Pressure Washing, two years ago.

When I’m healthy I enjoy spending time with family and friends. They all mean so much to me. I also enjoy playing pool, going to movies and concerts, helping others and working out.

In 2005 I Won the Kentucky Muscle heavyweight novice and super heavyweight open division. I’ve always enjoyed working out and being healthy so this has been such a struggle.

I’m Praying for a miracle to get a kidney and get back to enjoying life. I had my first transplant on March 4th,2011. Due to Covid I lost my donated kidney. In almost 11 years with my first kidney I was able to move up at work, start my own business and finish my business degree at Ivy tech. I can promise when I get a donated kidney I will make the most of it everyday. Thanks and God bless.
