LIVING Kidney DONOR NEEDED

" As much as I want to fight the good fight on my own, it’s no longer realistic without the help of others."

Hi, I am Henry, and I am writing because I need a kidney. I have Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a progressive disease that has caused my kidneys to lose their function. I inherited PKD from my father, who was in his sixties when PKD placed him on dialysis and eventually took his life. Several years ago, my doctor told me that it was time to start my journey towards finding a donor for a kidney transplant.

Kidney disease is a difficult condition that affects several bodily systems, and one’s overall quality of life. Now, as I am near the point of renal failure, there is a particular urgency in my quest to find a living kidney donor. My doctor says a living donor is needed because it is best and because the deceased donor kidney transplant waiting list is extremely long.

Getting a kidney transplant will prolong my life and restore my energy. There are many goals I want to pursue before my time is through. I love spending time with family and friends, including my dog, Zeus, taking part in Church and community services activities, helping others, and traveling. Music is also one of my passions. I simply want to extend my time on the earth to continue enjoying these avenues of interests. I want to see my small grandchildren grow up.

That is why I am reaching out to you, praying that you would consider blessing me by donating a kidney. It is a difficult thing to outright ask you for your kidney—that is a very powerful and personal gesture—however, I would be truly grateful for such a selfless act.

There are very few, if any, health concerns associated with donating a kidney. Our bodies are designed such that we can live with only one healthy kidney.
A donor donating a kidney on my behalf would have their costs of hospital and medical care covered. Lost wages, room, and more may also be covered.
