Jordan Robertson Needs A LIVING Kidney DONOR
hello, i am jordans little sister devyn. Growing up with jordan and her kindey problem has been rough. Jordan doesnt let her kindey problem bring her down, shes always positive and still there whenever you need her. Jordan has always had a positive mind set she never thinks negative about her situation.
Jordan misses out on her school life. Besides school she also misses out on her young adult life. Her kidney has held her back from enjoying her young adult life and from family and friends. She still doesnt let that bring her down.
Jordan receiving a transplant would mean the world to her. When she gets her transplant she can finally move on with her life and be successful. She can finally finish college and have fun with family and friends.
Sharing this story would help out so much. One simple share could do make a difference.

Share the Importance of Living Donation
There are currently 120,000 people waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant in the U.S. Of these, 100,000 await kidney transplants.
The median wait time for a kidney transplant is 3-5 years and can vary depending on health, compatibility, and where you live.
In 2014, 17,107 kidney transplants took place in the U.S. Of these, 11,570 came from deceased donors and 5,537 came from living donors.
Every 14 minutes someone is added to the kidney transplant waitlist.
A kidney from a living donor lasts longer and begins functioning more quickly than a kidney from a deceased donor.
In 1995, kidney donation became minimally invasive with a procedure called laparoscopic nephrectomy, which only requires four small incisions. Hospital stay is typically only 3 days after this operation.
Not blood type compatible with your recipient to be a living donor? Kidney Paired Donation (the “kidney swap” program) enables incompatible candidates with a living donor to receive a kidney from a compatible donor.
Last year, over 700 living donor kidney transplants occurred using Kidney Paired Donation.
