Save a Life, Share a Kidney
We’re reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for help for someone very special—Jim, a kind and generous man in his 50s who is currently battling kidney failure. Jim lives in the Cleveland area, and his life now depends on finding a living kidney donor.
Jim has always been the one to lend a hand. Whether it was helping a neighbor in need, volunteering in the community, or supporting friends and family through hard times, Jim never hesitated to give of himself. He has lived a life full of compassion and selflessness. Now, for the first time, Jim is the one who needs help.
Despite the challenges he’s facing, Jim remains positive and full of hope. But time is critical. His condition requires a kidney transplant, and while he is on the transplant list, the wait can be long—far longer than his health can afford.
We are searching for a living donor who is willing to be tested. The ideal donor would have blood type O (either O+, O-), but anyone willing to be tested could potentially be a match through paired donation programs. All medical costs for the donor will be covered, and testing is confidential, non-binding, and free.
