Key Takeaways

✅ I’ve been on dialysis for over a year to stay alive while I’m searching for a living kidney donor in a race against time before it’s too late.

✅ My family members are not medically eligible to donate. Now I’m turning to you, because I’m not just fighting to survive, I have a vibrant life I’m trying to return to.

✅ The waiting list for a deceased donor takes 3-7 years, time I might not have. 13 people die every day while waiting.

✅ You only need one kidney to live a normal, healthy life.

✅ ANYONE medically eligible can donate a kidney and save my life EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A DIRECT MATCH FOR ME through my affiliation with the National Kidney Registry (NKR) which runs a top-notch exchange program throughout the U.S.

✅ NKR’s Standard Voucher Program overcomes compatibility issues between donors and recipients, makes the process more convenient for donors and allows the best possible match for recipients.

✅ All medical costs for pre-testing, donation, and post-care are covered 100% by my insurance. NKR also offers a free suite of financial and other support services to eligible donors through their Donor Shield program.

✅ Donors have a dedicated medical team and NKR Donor Mentor focused entirely on their well-being.

✅ You can live virtually ANYWHERE in the U.S. and donate through NKR at a hospital near you and a time of your choosing.

✅ Most donor surgeries are minimally invasive (performed laparoscopically) and have a short recovery time (1-2 nights in the hospital and about 2 weeks at home).
