## Resource

My name is J.B. Lawrence. At the end of 2017, my vision suddenly failed due to undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy—no prior symptoms. In 2018, I got married and became a stepdad to two awesome daughters. I worked full-time through the pandemic, and starting in January 2022, I lost my sister, then my dad, and by January 2023, my mom. During this time, I also began in-home dialysis after kidney failure. In 2024, just days before my kidney transplant, I was let go from my longtime job. And just a couple of months ago, my wife has decided she wants a divorce. I am dealing with this currently. This is the story I want to share.
