Donor

“I always thought I would like to donate a Kidney my whole life. I had read that donating a Kidney doesn’t impact your health & it makes such a difference in somebody else’s life. When John’s situation came up, it was a double pleasure, someone that I knew and someone’s life I could save!”

“I’ve always been a donor since I was sixteen. I’ve donated blood and platelets. I was always interested in kidney donation but I never took it upon myself to do the research. So once my friend notified us that Marc needed a kidney, I responded back “I’m gonna get tested!” It was automatic for me, I just knew I wanted to do it! I was very excited that all the appt’s were gonna pay off. I was excited that he was gonna get his wish!”

“When I was diagnosed with Kidney failure, I was depressed and felt alone. I felt like I was the only one with this disease. I felt emotionally detached from the world. Like an emotional caveman! I was the only one in my immediate family with this disease.”
