David Kerschner Needs A LIVING Kidney DONOR

David in need of a kidney transplant.

David is my next store neighbor for the last 15 years. He is an amazing person and a great neighbor. He always goes beyond to help with projects. When my husband had back surgery David blowed my driveway early in the morning so I could get to work. He watches our house when we are away, he’s an acceptable friend.

I have noticed that David has slowed down in activities, he has always taken pride in his property and lawn, it is still emaculate but he now has some assistance.

A kidney transplant would give David back his quality of life, he was always active and energetic, I pray for a quick recovery for him.

My neighbor David is in need of a kidney transplant, this would add quality to his life, he is a very active and energetic man who truly enjoys life. Please share his story and help David get a kidney.

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.
