“I would be truly grateful to anyone who considers to donate a kidney to me.“

Dorothy— POtential kidney Transplant Recipient

My name is Dorothy, and I am asking for your help to save my life.I was born and raised in Danville Virginia. My father was well known in our town and become one of the top black owned tobacco growers in Virginia. I grew up working on the farm and from there I went to work in a plant that made furniture. I really enjoy cooking and every day I would take food for lunch for all my work associates. The company eventually went out of business and I became a caretaker and have been doing that up until my decline in health. I am also an avid church member who serves on various church committees. I had one kidney removed due to cysts on kidney. Thereafter I caught pneumonia and that has affected my other kidney. I currently only have one kidney and that kidney is going bad. I have. until the end of 2022 to find a Kidney donor.Everyone that I have reached out to something going on health wise that prevents them from being able to donate. I would like to say that I would be truly grateful to anyone who considers to donate a kidney to me. It is not easy to ask complete strangers about donating a kidney but I hope my story can touch someone’s heart and they consider me.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 would appreciate you sharing this information with anyone that you know who might be interested or a match. Thank you so much for your consideration!Dorothy
