Recently I lost a loved one because we couldnt find a donor. I have the ability to prevent someone else from experiencing the pain I did.
I maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. I have never smoked or drank alcohol habitually and ive never experimented with drugs. |

Call your local transplant center and get evaluated. Hopefully they will set you up with a pair or a chain and you can have a part in numerous transplants.

Bless you K D,
Your decision will make a momentous difference in the life of a patient in need. I agree with Cora, your contact with a Tx center near you will begin the process. Your health going forward is the highest concern for the Tx team. My sympathies on the loss of your loved one. I wish more people thought like you. Stay well! |
