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 Voucher Program overcomes compatibility issues between donors and recipients, makes the process more convenient for donors, allows the best possible match for recipients, and allows donors to protect their family members by ensuring they will receive a living donor kidney if they ever need a transplant.

✅ 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 through their Donor Shield program.

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

✅ You can live 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).
