LIVING Kidney DONOR NEEDED

Living Kidney Donor Needed

Hello,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cecily Wilson, and I am seeking a living kidney donor. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been an unforgettable interruption in my life. During the ten years I have been diagnosed this CDK, my kidneys have progressively declined. There are five stages of kidney failure, and I have advanced rapidly to stage 4. It is inevitable that I would greatly benefit from a kidney transplant in an effort to live my life to the fullest and continue to be a vital role in my family and community. I am looking for someone to answer my request and become a donate a kidney.

Since the onset of CKD I have encountered various treatments and numerous tests to consistently check my kidney function. My physicians must monitor my kidney function and make adjustments regarding my health. In addition, there frequent visits to my physician and daily regimen of medications that are necessary to maintain acceptable kidney levels.

For me returning to my previous life is essential. A life that allowed me to perform my daily duties without fatigue, but with independence. Waiting for the day I can restart my life will be absolutely rewarding and monumental. After my transplant, I would continue to “pay if forward” to create and do something fulfilling for another individual.

I am truly blessed to be on the donor list waiting for a kidney, but the process can be lengthy and challenging. This written journey is the hope I may find a living donor. Trust me; I understand it is an enormous task to ask someone to give such a special gift to a stranger. So it’s with a heavy heart that I make this request. Simply put a living donor would give me back my life. I appreciate the time you took to read my story. Maybe you or someone you know will consider getting tested in the hope of becoming a possible viable candidate. Please feel free to share my story with your network of family, friends and the community in which you reside. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you again,

Cecily Wilson

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.
