How You Can Help

Be My Ambassador

I would imagine this is something you have never thought of doing. I know it is a big ask. But I do need everyone’s assistance and cooperation in helping me if I am going to find a living donor.

Share My Story

One of the best ways to show your support is to help spread the word about my need for a kidney. I need you to become my ambassadors and help me get the word out personally or through social media to your family, friends, co-workers, business associates, colleagues and acquaintances that I am in need of a kidney transplant from a Living Donor. Refer them to my website to learn more about me and to get more information on kidney transplant and to possibly consider registering as a potential donor to help me. Registering does NOT mean you are committed or obligated to become a donor.
