I am looking for a kidney for my husband. I am unfortunately not compatible. I am in the pairing program at California Pacific Medical Center. They are always looking for donors. Please contact me if you would like more information.

I have a dear friend who is dying now. He needs a kidney so bad from an O donor. Why dont people consider giving the gift of life. Unfortunately I don't qualify as I have leukemia or I would have gladly given mine to him. He is a nurse who has helped so many people in his short life.. he is in his early 40's and would have to wait 5 years possibly for a donor. He will be lucky to survive 5 weeks. If you are interested in donating please PLEASE contact me.
