I Need Your Help to Find a living Kidney Donor

Click Icon to Share:

I’m reaching out because I’m in desperate need of a living kidney donor to save my life.

I’m lucky to have an amazing support team around me. My wife, Phyllis, my son, Kevin, and my grandson, Andrew. Though, unfortunately, my kidney disease continues to take a heavy toll on my life.

Right now, I spend hours a week in dialysis, which limits my ability to live the life I want. I’ve had to move in with my son because I live too far away from the nearest dialysis center, and the constant travel back and forth would be impossible to manage.

If I had a new kidney tomorrow, my life would change completely. I’d be able to return to my home, live freely without restrictions, and enjoy the things that bring me happiness again. I miss the feeling of independence and the ability to live without the constraints of my illness.

I’m asking for your help in finding a living kidney donor. If you or someone you know would consider being tested as a donor, it could save my life and give me the opportunity to return to a full and happy life. Please visit my website to learn more about my situation, and if you can, apply to become my living donor.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Our dad, Ed, urgently needs a kidney, and I’m doing everything I can to help. With over 100,000 people waiting for a deceased donor and a 5+ year wait, the odds are not in our favor. I’m sharing my father’s story because I may not be eligible to donate to him which is heartbreaking. Since our search for a living donor began, we’ve learned that you can live a healthy life with just one kidney, and most donors say they would donate again if it were possible. Please consider helping us by visiting and sharing my dad’s website. Your support means the world to our family. www.giftworksuuh.com/edn

It’s been 2 years since I began dialysis treatment. Sadly, my kidneys are deteriorating, and I urgently need a living kidney donor to save my life. Asking for such a profound gift is incredibly difficult, and it has required me to be deeply vulnerable. However, the urgency of my situation leaves me no choice. My kidney disease is progressing, and I am facing constant health challenges. Every day without a transplant brings new struggles. Although I am on the waitlist for a deceased donor kidney, the reality is that there are over 100,000 people on that list, and it could take more than five years for me to receive a kidney. Time is not on my side.
If you’re seeing this, please consider sharing my post. Your support in spreading the word can make an enormous difference. If you feel moved to become my lifesaving donor, please complete the contact form on my GiftWorks website: www.giftworksuuh.com/edn
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your compassion and support.
