PLEASE
BE MY KIDNEY DONOR
Hello,
My name is Helen. I’m 59 years old and live in Chicago. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease at the age of 34 when my son was born and he has the same problem as me. In September of 2022, I was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease.
PKD genetic condition that causes cysts to grow in both kidneys and stop kidney function, eventually resulting in kidney failure.
My husband planned to be my donor, but upon his most recent stress test, his cardiologist ultimately excluded him as a donor.
The best outcome for my life would be a living kidney donor. As a wife of 40 years and a mother of 2 children, I cannot imagine my family without me. Due to extremely high challenges, my family and I are reaching out for any kind of support finding a donor.
I know the world is full of selfless and courageous people, thousands if not millions, but all I am looking for is just one. One individual who could save my life and change it forever. If you or anyone you know wants to make a difference in someone’s life, I genuinely hope you will consider my family and me.
I pray to God to extend my life back and help my son with that problem also.
As a donor, all medical expenses for evaluation and surgery will be covered by my insurance. All your information will be confidential. Thank you for considering me and God bless.
Thank you very much for reading my story.
