I am a living donor.(10/2013) My wife is the recipient, and we thank GOD each and every day. Also thank our surgeons and the dedicated medical staff at the NYPWCMC.

Hi Dan, I am a living donor for my husband. Some days he probably wishes it came from a stranger because I am on him if he isn’t on top of what he needs to do lol. Welcome to the group!
