Living Kidney Donor Needed

Hello,
My name is Carolyn Jacobs, and I am hoping to find a kidney donor. Chronic kidney disease is a problem that I have been dealing with for the past few years. Unfortunately, over time my kidney disease has continued to progress to the extent that I will need a kidney transplant. The effects and treatments required to combat it have been a constant stress on my mind, body, and soul.

Since early this year, I’ve been doing dialysis and attending frequent doctor visits while still working to support myself and my family. This treatment often leaves me feeling tired and makes it difficult to do the things I enjoy, like singing, attending church services, and spending time with loved ones. My faith and my church community have been a major source of strength and encouragement during this journey.

I look forward to the day that I can get my normal life back. It would be a blessing to be able to travel more, spend quality time with family, and enjoy life without the constant concerns for my health. After my transplant, I would like to return to singing in church and helping others who are going through similar challenges.

I am on the waiting list for a kidney; however, that can often take years to get a match. I am hoping to find a living donor in order to improve my health and quality of life. A living donor transplant would mean so much to me because it would give me the opportunity to live a longer, healthier life — one where I can continue sharing my voice, faith, and love with others. I would be deeply grateful if you could help me find a match by getting tested or by sharing this information with your friends, family, or community. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.

With gratitude,

Carolyn Jacobs
