My Ask

This is hard for me. 
I don't want to ask for this and I don't want to be a burden to anyone, but I am in need of a Kidney Transplant. I have been officially added the waiting list through UCSF (University of California San Francisco.) Today, I was informed that my part now is to just wait or find a donor. If I do not find a living donor that is a match, I will have to wait approximately 7-8 years for a deceased donor. By that time I will be 37 and probably on dialysis for a few years. This is terrifying.

Please consider being a kidney donor. I have resources that I can give your for more information about your part in the process. I have type O+ and can only accept O+/- organ donations.

If you are really interested in donating, please follow this link to "apply" with UCSF: www.ucdonor.org
