Nouf AlDossari

When I was a baby, I was diagnosed with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), a rare condition that affects my kidneys and liver. It was a challenging time for my family and me, and it changed our lives profoundly.
In 2002, my condition led to the need for a kidney and liver transplant. That moment was both an end and a hopeful new beginning. The recovery was tough, but it taught me a lot about strength and resilience. Now, I live with one kidney and manage my health with regular check-ups and medication.
Beyond managing my condition, I use my skills as a videographer to create content that brings joy and inspiration. My videos aim to uplift and connect with others, showing that even when life is tough, we can find reasons to smile and stay hopeful. The PKD Foundation inspired me to bring awareness in my country of Saudia Arabia. I hope my story and my work encourage others to face their challenges with courage and to find moments of lightness and inspiration in their own lives.
