Fact: “Sometimes people look to family for a living kidney donor, but they don’t always meet the requirements.” (Source: Mayo Clinic)
I’ve often hoped that a family member or close friend would be able to donate, but unfortunately, they don’t always meet the necessary criteria. It’s disheartening, especially when kidney disease has already drained so much of my energy. Also, it’s hard on family to learn that they can’t donate – often times for medical reasons.
That’s why expanding the circle of potential donors is so crucial.
By donating, you can make a difference for someone who may not have a match within their family or friend circle (like me). Your choice to donate could provide the opportunity for a healthier, stronger future for someone who has spent far too long worn out by kidney disease. Also, sharing this message could help me more than you know. The more people who see my story, they better chance I have of finding that special person who may save my life. www.giftworksuuh.com/zacherys
