Welcome to My Friend Needs A Kidney (MFNAK)

Many of us have watched a person go through a major life changing medical event. As a result of that  event they may have died.  At time of death you may have said to yourself, what could I had done to make this person’s life better?  Why didn’t I spend more time with him or her? If I could do somethings over again I would do this or that different.

Yes, your friend needs a kidney.

In 1999, I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. I have been managing the disease through healthy eating. Keep in mind that I can only be defeated by this disease in one or two ways—death or a kidney transplant. And death is not an option.

Your friend had open heart surgery in 2009. He had two surgery’s’ in one day. The first surgery was aortic valve replacement.

Why a Living Kidney Donation (Gift of Life) is a better consideration?

• Potential donors can be tested ahead of time. If you qualify as a Living Donor, you have the ability to decide when the transplant will be performed.
• A kidney from a Living Donor usually functions immediately, because the kidney is out of the body for a very short time.
