Donating one of my kidneys (O+) to a good person in need

[makingAdifference]

Hello humans! I am not very good at writing. Am doing this for a friend who is old fashioned and not very comfortable with internet. Long story short, he wants to donate one of his kidneys to the right person. He is 49 y/o and healthy. Doesn't smoke nor drinks. His blood type is O+. He doesn't want to donate to a random person, he'd rather know the recipient before donation. Please contact me and I will connect you with him. I am not comfortable writing his cellphone number publicly here. I wish you all good health.

Hi, You could really make a difference in my husband's life as well as our family! He needs an O+ donor. We had thought our daughter was going to be a donor, but because of some health problems we didn't know about until she started going through the tests to be a donor, she was disqualified. What all would you like to know? David is 79, is in the low teens on the kidney scale, he has two children, 2 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren. He used to teach school. He's not on dialysis yet and if you would be his donor, he may never have to be on dialysis. I'm praying that you will consider him. We'll be glad to tell you whatever you'd like. Our insurance will pay your expenses associated with donating. Blessing to you, Mary Sutton

Hello! I’m 53, married with a 12 year old son. I work full time and always have through everything from the beginning of my diagnosis, through dialysis for 6 years. I had a transplant in 2013 but a virus was detected about six months after. Very depressing because the kidney worked immediately and was very strong.

I need another transplant because of the damage the virus caused.

I’m the sole supporter for my family and am so tired all the time.

I am a warehouse manager and often work with my team which can wear me out even quicker.

I hope your friend would consider donating to me.

I’m an O blood type and can only receive a kidney from another O person.

Thank you!!

I read on the National Kidney Registry that you can be reimbursed for lost wages and many other benefits by registering with them. Here is a little about that program:

The National Kidney Registry (kidneyregistry.org), offers a package of protections for non-directed living kidney donors called Donor Shield, including a voucher program that would potentially offer a kidney for a friend or relative at a later date. Check their website for details. This does not apply to people who donate to a friend or family member or another specific person. And you have to donate through a transplant center that is enrolled with the National Kidney Registry.

After you read some of the advantages of donating through them, please contact me again. I think we could work together!!

Thank you for your kindness. However, since you are blood type B, you wouldn’t be able to donate to any of us.
