Give the Gift of Life

Information for Living Kidney Donors…

Every year over 3,000 living people donate kidneys to their relatives, spouses or friends. This type of donation has been done for over 30 years. Surgeons at Vanderbilt Hospital, in Nashville, Tennessee have transplanted over 800 kidneys from living donors.

Meet Kathy, the person needing a kidney donor… Her husband Bob has been a Sprint Nextel employee, at the Bristol, VA. Call center for the last 5 years

Kathy has been a diabetic for approximately 15 years. Diabetes has been threatening her kidneys for approximately 5 years. Then in March of 2008, she suffered a heart attack. A stint was inserted into her heart to clear the blockage. A dye was used in the procedure to show doctors where to place the stint in the heart. The dye used can cause the kidneys to go into complete failure.

In Kathy’s case, she has been going to dialysis 3 days a week, 4 hrs. a day, at a local hospital, on a machine , taking toxins normally handled by a healthy kidney. Outside of the hospital, she has to constantly monitor her diet and fluid intake .Your donation of a kidney would mean a better quality of life for her, with a lot more freedom in her lifestyle and a better overall quality of life.
