Waiting for a kidney transplant in Washington, DC

Hello! My name is Elinga Atembina. I'm from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but leaving permanently in the US for more than 30 years. I've been diagnosed with kidney disease and currently on dialysis for 3 years. Also, I've been on the kidney transplant waiting list for 3 years at the GWU TRANSPLANT INSTITUTE. Since then, my life has been totally changed. Getting a kidney transplant is my last chance to stay alive and be with my family. I understand that it's not easy for anyone to be a living organ donor. But, you're our last hope for our survival. Please take your time to contact the GWU TRANSPLANT INSTITUTE in order to learn more about donating your kidney. We thank you so much for taking the time to hear our voice. GOD bless!
