Taking a chance: Searching for a donor for my brother

Two and a half years ago I donated a kidney via a donor exchange program so that my brother could get a kidney from a better match. That was his fourth transplant. He’s 45 years old and has been living with kidney disease since childhood. My Mom, Dad and older brother have alll donated directly to my him.

He is once again in search of a new kidney.
