I pray that you help me find my donor. God bless.”

Sharon
My name is Sharon Dennison and I have kidney disease. I love my dog, Lila, and being surrounded by nature. In 2008, my life changed when I was told a medication I was prescribed had not been monitored properly.

It only takes one special person to decide to donate. Thank you so much for your help!
Bernadette
My name is Bernadette Forystek and I am in dire need of a kidney transplant. My doctor says I will need a transplant or dialysis within the next 6 months. Without a living donor, the wait time for a kidney is around 5-7 years. My favor of you, is to ask that if you can’t donate, please share on your Facebook Wall so that it can get exposure I need to find a living donor quickly. I don’t want to leave my family without a mother, wife, sister and grandmother. That is what I fear for more than I fear for my life. Thank you for reading this, for your consideration and for sharing my story with the world.
