This is my story…
33 Years ago, I was the fortunate recipient of my sister’s kidney- a gift that allowed me to hear my daughter Bri’s graduation speech, attend the weddings of my two sons, and play with my four grandkids for countless hours. These cherished memories that I never took for granted. My kidney lasted double the amount of time compared to most. This didn’t happen by mistake. Let me tell you, I’ve never missed a single lab appointment, I don’t sit around drinking beer or smoking cigarettes, and I’m always on top of my daily medications.
Even so, I’m back fighting for my life again (that’s me, a fighter!) as my kidneys have officially failed. Unfortunately, my daily repeated dialysis treatments aren’t enough, and I’m in urgent need of another transplant from a type O living kidney donor- from someone like you since my family members are not a match.
