There are not enough kidneys to go around

Demand for kidney transplants is considerably higher than for any other organ. At the start of 2014, nearly 100,000 people in the United States were on the waiting list to have a kidney transplant. In recent years, only about 11,000 deceased-donor kidney transplants were performed annually in the United States. Each year another approximately 5,800 kidney transplants were made possible by living donors.

Organ donors make miracles happen!

Recycle yourself, become an organ donor.

Save a life

Butterflies represent rebirth.
It's quite a life-changing experience when someone who has been sick receives the gift of life.
Celebrate Life: Be a Hero. Be an Organ Donor. Save a Life.

Just think about it.- A deceased donor can give kidneys, pancreas, liver, lungs, heart, intestinal organs, plus tissue and corneas- A living donor can give a kidney, or a portion of the liver, lung, intestine, or pancreas

5 Year Kidneyversary!

Here's Jenna with her sister and brother.
We celebrated Jenna's 5 years and the Brave Little Kidney with a pink kidney cake!Jenna had been on dialysis for over 3 years - had about 500 treatments. This transplant has given her freedom from needles and sitting, waiting for dialysis to end, only to begin again.
She doesn't know how long her transplant will last, but for today she's doing ok.
We'll always be grateful to her donor Patrice. Living donors make miracles happen!
