You can see if your wife ca be evaluated by another transplant center that allows multi-listing to see if it will give her a chance of being matched quicker. Once a patient is evaluated and placed o the waiting list, it is a wait to be matched with a donor which can take several years. Multi-listing is when transplant centers allow a patient to be evaluated and listed at more than one transplant center.

Thanks Cap21_NKF . We started the process and do let me know if any transplant center comes to your mind to consider me lucky

First of all, wishing you BOTH success in finding a donor for your wife. You're on the right track. Keep at publicizing her need EVERYWHERE you can think of, and then think some more! Social media of course (and get all your family/friends to share her story on their social media), newspaper, other publications, contact local news programs, billboards, signs on cars, supermarkets, doctors offices (if they'll allow), just every avenue possible. Trust me, the word spreads and you will be saving more lives than just your wife's!!

One of my friends wants to donate one of his kidneys. His blood type is O and is healthy (non-alcoholic and non-smoker). He works round the clock but he does not have a health insurance. I can connect you with him directly to discuss. He is old fashioned and does not know how to use internet.
