As of today, more than 103,000 individuals are on the national transplant waiting list. Of those, approximately 86%—nearly 90,000 people—are waiting for a kidney transplant.

This week, we revisit Dan Daggett, a familiar voice and a determined fighter who is still waiting for his life-changing kidney transplant. Dan remains on dialysis, but his spirit and story continue to inspire.

We also dive into something that sounds like it’s straight out of science fiction: a potential breakthrough that could transform lives—an implantable artificial kidney. Imagine a future with no dialysis, no waiting lists, and a fully functioning device inside the body doing the work of a real kidney. Researchers are getting closer every day.

This is hope in action—and we’re here to share it with you.
