A Rhode Island man discovered he had the same deadly disease as his twin brother only after he tried to donate a kidney to him.WLNEThe 26-year-old, from Providence, Rhode Island, found he had the illness when he tried to donate a kidney to his brother Nick Peguero around two years ago, according to aNick Peguero was diagnosed with stage-four kidney disease a few years ago. When he began dialysis after his condition worsened, his brother decided to see if he was a donor match.
He managed to find a donor after a year on dialysis and said he has been living a normal life since then—and he is hopeful that the same will happen for his brother. But according to the GoFundMe page set up for Alex Peguero, he may be waiting up to five years for a kidney transplant. "I learned to deal with it. You can't really pick and choose what you go through. So you've got to deal with what you've got," he told WLNE.
The GoFundMe page aims to raise funds to help him financially while he is out of work due to daily dialysis treatments, but also hopes to raise awareness so a donor may be found. The organizer has been contacted for comment.
