Hi all, my name is Paul Webster, AKA "Moose", and I am in need of a kidney transplant. Due to chronic kidney disease, my kidneys can no longer properly function and a living donor is my best option for a quick and effective transplant. Typically, the wait can be anywhere from 3-8 years, as there are not enough organs available for all of those in need.
I know it is a big ask, but I am asking for people and friends to offer to donate to the living donor program. A healthy person is able to live a full life with one kidney, and the chance for my success significantly increases with a kidney from a live donor. Even if you aren't a blood type match to me, you can donate to an individual in need, and, therefore, help me receive this gift of life in return. All expenses are completely covered by my insurance.
If you are interested in donating and/or learning more about donating, you can contact the UVA Transplant Center. They can be reached via phone at 800.543.8814 or online at uvahealth.com/livingdonation. OR the VCU Transplant Center at 804.628.0711 or vcuhealthlivingdonor.org It can all be done privately, I am not contacted at any point during the testing, and the donor can change his /her mind at any point in the process. Thank you for considering and I appreciate any help with sharing my need so I can find my living donor hero.
