Introducing Myself!

Hi! My name is Yarieli Cuevas (Yari for short). I'm 29 years old and I was diagnosed with CKD when I was 3 years old. Between the ages of 7-11, I went through in clinic hemodialysis, PD and a transplant.

The transplant lasted 11 years (2008-2019) and I've been back on dialysis ever since. Started back in center and since 2020 I've been doing home hemo. While on dialysis I've also been waiting for a new kidney.

Since my teen years I've been a big advocate for kidney patients specially for the latino/ hispanic community. I also love working with patients doing the transition from pediatrics to adult or just younger patients that need someone to talk to.

I have a full time life, a husband, my own home, 4 pets and I love to travel! If I'm able to do all this I'm sure others can too.

I'm looking forward to sharing my experience with anyone who needs it, please feel free to write to me at any moment.
