LIVING Kidney DONOR NEEDED

Give the Gift of Life

Hi, my name is Scott Correa. I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in 2014. At that time, my kidney function was around 60%. Recently, it dropped below 15%. I had a living donor lined up, but they found an anomaly in his kidney that puts both of us at greater risk for complications post transplant. That said, I’m looking for a new living donor before I would have to start dialysis. That time is growing short. Might you or someone you know be a match?

I've been fortunate not to have experienced some of the more severe symptoms of PKD. I credit much of that to my active lifestyle. I run, workout, and rock climb. I try to eat right (low/no sodium) but sweets are my downfall, especially ice cream! Still, I maintain a healthy weight and my blood sugar is under control. My hope is that a transplant will allow me to continue to live a full active life and not have to experience more severe symptoms or the side effects of dialysis, if it comes to that.

A transplant would literally give me a new lease on life. It would allow me to continue living the life I love. There are still a lot of things I want to accomplish and places I want to see in the years to come.

So here's the deal, I have two bad kidneys and chances are you have two good ones. How would you like to do me a solid and give me one of yours? It would literally save my life and you would accumulate enough good karma to last this life and the next! So what do you say? Are you ready to save a life and have a story of giving and kindness that will be hard to top? Then I encourage you to start a living donor evaluation today.
