What better way to show our appreciation than to step up in their time of need? Don will not have access to a life saving kidney transplant unless he finds a living kidney donor. There is so much more life left for him to live! Kidney donation is safe for those who are medically cleared. The medical testing is covered by the transplant center. Any non medical expenses are covered by organizations such as DOVE. Please click the link below to learn more about donation or to get involved. Thank you!
