Avram

In Need of a Kidney Donor

 

My name is Avram, and I am asking for your help to save my life.I have end-stage renal disease and inherited polycystic kidney disease, from my beloved mom. I’m on dialysis seven days a week, twelve hours each session. 

I live a slow, laid-back life and love fishing, skiing, going for boat rides, sightseeing, and cleaning around my house. I have three wonderful and talented children who are all honors students, play music, and swim. I’ve taken care of them since they were born until January 2022 when I was hospitalized and began dialysis. I have now been on dialysis for over three years.

I am currently on the kidney transplant list. 

I have been waiting for a transplant for a long time. I dream of doing all the things I used to be able to do, and taking advantage of life to do much more. I also hope to see my children attend college, get married, and begin their own families.

I am looking for a living donor. I am asking this of both friends and strangers, because I have no immediate family that is able to donate. Living donor transplants generally have better outcomes and can be arranged at a time convenient for both parties. I am compatible with any Type A+ blood type. Even if you do not have the same blood type, you can donate as part of a paired exchange program.

The most difficult part of waiting for a transplant is not knowing what the future holds. The first step is to contact my transplant center using the information in the box above. The entire process is strictly confidential and medical costs are covered by my insurance.

Please review existing Living Donor Benefits/Rights to determine which apply to you.

Thank you for considering saving my life.  

With deep gratitude,

Avram
