In Need of a Kidney Donor

My name is Mazin Kaju, and I am in need of a kidney.

I’m a family man who loves life, believes in miracles, and holds onto hope every day. Living with a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis, I’m unable to pursue dialysis as an option, and I’ve now been waiting for a transplant for over a year. Unfortunately, none of my family members are eligible to be a living donor.

My greatest wish is to live long enough to see my youngest daughter graduate from high school and to continue being a strong, steady presence for my family. I trust that God has a plan for each of us, and I have faith that someone out there may be willing to help me — and in doing so, gain a lifelong friend.

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 or O 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. I hope to regain a fulfilling quality of life, one where I can have more time with my family. 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,

Mazin
