Twitter world, I’m ecstatic to announce we found #AMatchforMatt and this HERO is David Atkins. We are overwhelmed with gratitude and hope this story might inspire more heroes. Matt's and Dave's story aired on @HodaAndJenna last week.

RT @jimsciutto: Superb.

In honor of Matt's selfless donor, we will launch The David Atkins Foundation very soon. @TDAFoundation will aim to lessen the financial burden placed on donors and their families, and will raise awareness for living organ and tissue donations. We can't wait to get to work.

To this Twitter community, you are POWERFUL. > 400 of you applied to be a donor. We are blown away by your selflessness. More than 100k people are waiting for life-saving organ donations, 90k of them need a kidney. It is our hope that spreading Matt’s story might help just one.

Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way: to our families and friends for all their support, love, check ins and facetimes. And to Matt’s incredible medical teams at @TuftsMedicalCtr and @MGHMedicine who worked tirelessly to give him the best care. We thank you.

We are so grateful to Dave, Faith and their families for their commitment to getting Matt back to health. When we asked how we could ever repay them, Faith said we had to change our language from feeling indebted to feeling bonded. We are, and we will always be just that.

I know this is a big ask, but your actions could help someone who has positively affected so many lives, and will continue to contribute so much good to this world. We are desperate to get Matt back to his healthy, vibrant self. Thank you for helping to find #AMatchForMatt ♥️

If you’re interested in either kidney donation for Matt, or are willing to pass along the link to apply, it is here: You'll be asked to identify the recipient by name and birthdate and that information is:.▪️Matt Glazier (not Matthew) .▪️11/26/1986.

We are in desperate search for a living kidney donor who matches the following criteria:. ▪️Type O Blood (+ or -).▪️No high blood pressure.▪️Not diabetic.▪️Roughly between ages of 25-55 and in excellent health.

Shortly after his release, he was put on dialysis, and has been ever since. There are many fights ahead of us. The first is to get Matt off dialysis, and back to leading his active life.

After a week in the hospital, his doctors concluded he had a rare genetic condition called aHUS: a disease that causes an influx of blood clots to form in the blood vessels, blocking blood flow to vital organs, like the kidneys.

In January, Matt began to feel especially fatigued. After abnormal blood tests came back, we went to a hematologist to get him checked out, and he ended up being rushed to the emergency room. Matt’s kidneys were failing quickly and they didn’t know why.

Meet my husband Matt. He is one of the best people on Earth. He is a 34-year-old lover of life, and one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. He loves his friends & family passionately, and he tends to these relationships with immense care. Simply put, he is larger than life.
