Social media sensation Allen ‘ATown’ Sherrod is using his platform to raise awareness and find a kidney donor. Diagnosed with kidney disease at a young age, ATown received his first transplant at the age of 9, which lasted for 17 years. Now in urgent need of a second transplant, ATown is utilizing his considerable following to educate others about the process of donation and dialysis. Through his documentary and social media posts, he aims to demystify kidney disease and inspire action.
ATown’s daily life is significantly impacted by his condition, requiring him to undergo dialysis three times a week. These sessions leave him drained and emphasize the critical need for a transplant. He is dedicated to spreading awareness about kidney health and the importance of early detection, particularly during National Kidney Month. ATown’s story is one of hope and resilience, serving as a testament to the transformative impact of community support. As he continues his search for a donor, he invites his followers to join him in this journey and offer support through social media engagement and potential donor registration. Through awareness, education, and action, ATown believes that a difference can be made in the lives of those battling kidney disease.
