I Am In Need Of A Kidney Transplant

['67Craftsman's 151]

Hi Everyone,

I posted about this on the MTF an TF forums already so forgive me, but I figure spreading the word the more places the better. I don’t talk about my health here (or actually anywhere) besides my own home and sometimes at work, but I been having medical issues with my kidney and liver my whole life since I was born 23 years ago. This time however is a bit different. There’s a long story about all this and I honestly don’t even know all the exact details because I was only 3 years old at the time. All I know is that I got my current kidney from my now 65 year old biological father back 20 years ago in 2003 cause I was born premature. However now 20 years later that kidney unfortunately took a turn for the worst and is failing, and failing to the point where I now need dialysis. I most likely have a living donor already, BUT I’m wondering if that person does not come through if anyone else would be willing to help me out and possibly donate. I’m blood type A positive and am located in Berlin CT. I know it’s a long shot, but I figured I would at least try.

Thank you all.

So sorry to hear about your struggles.  I have a few friends who have gone through this and dialysis is no fun.  One is retired and travels a lot.  She has a pump and a ton of fluids that she can do her dialysis from anywhere.  Still not fun, but it keeps her mobile.

I pray that you will find a donor and your health will be restore. You never know when or who will change your life and we saw a wonderful example of that a couple of years ago here on Red Square.
