Hello! I’m R. Michael - I need a Living kidney Donor

I'm currently on dialysis, but it is not a cure.
A transplant from a living donor would be my best chance of returning to a normal way of living. A transplant from a deceased donor could be an option, but that could be a long wait: 3-5 years is usual. Dealing with my Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been an isolating challenge to be sure. With a transplant I could enjoy my retirement years; traveling and spending time with friends
and family.

​

To keep my spirits up in the meantime I’m volunteering with
Rogue Food Unites (RFU), which uses food to heal individuals and communities during times of crisis. It’s helped reaffirm my faith in humanity. I’m reminded that there are so many people out there in need, just as I am, but they're conflicted with having to reach out and ask for help from others. It is a difficult thing.

​

Thank you for considering donating--or just helping me get the word out!
