In Need of a Kidney Donor
My name is Dino, and I am asking for your help to save my life.
I am on the kidney transplant list in Colorado.I am originally from Greece and have been in the United States for over 46 years. I am married and have a 22 year old daughter studying English in Greece. I owned and operated a restaurant in Denver called Chef Zorbas from 1999-2018. Chef Zorbas has been a staple Greek restaurant in the Capital Hill community for decades and is one the best Greek restaurants in Denver. I sold the restaurant to focus on my health and family.
I am in stage 5 kidney failure and is on dialysis. I’m in need of a lifesaving organ transplant.I am looking for a living donor. I am asking this of both friends and strangers. We had one potential donor tested and we were not a match. Living donor transplants generally have better outcomes and can be arranged at a time convenient for both parties. No waiting and wondering while my body continues to weaken.
I can receive from blood types O+ or O-. Even if you do not have the same blood type, you can donate as part of a paired exchange program. 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. In addition, the American Transplant Foundation has a financial resources guide you can consult for further information.
Thank you for considering saving my life,
Dino
