About Me
Received a kidney transplant on September 12, 2009. Eternally grateful to Alex's family for donating his organs. He was young and healthy and I have spoke to his mother. My kidney's failed due to Polycystic Kidney Disease. Luckily my son has been tested and is negative. My daughter was checked as a teenager but not as an adult. I have 4 beautiful grandchildren 2 girls and 2 boys. I also have another one on the way due in October. Doing much better than when on dialysis. |

About Me
Donated my kidney to my brother Sept. 5, 2007. Spreading the word on the need for organ donations is very important to me. My brother is doing well and on waiting list for pancreas still. A year after our surgery my beautiful niece was born and everytime I look at her I know she is here today because of me and so is my brother. No words can begin to mention how blessed I am to been able to give life to my loved one. It truly is an amazing and wonderful feeling and my goal is to help others achieve this as well. |

About Me
May 24, 2010, this is when I was born again! I am a Bi-lateral Lung Transplant receipient. I was transplanted in May, 2010 at The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. I was diagnoised with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis ( IPF ) in December, 2005. It's been quite a trip as you well know, but one I would do again in a second! I don't know anything about my donor or his or her family, I have sent letters and cards and they have excepted my coorespondence, so hopefully one day I will get to talk to my Heros family! Until then I will continue to pray for them and hope they find some peace in knowing that I am doing very well! God Bless!! |
