Written by Hetty C. Haden Two and a half years ago, I received a kidney for transplant from a live donor, whom I had never known in real life or in person. We met only because we were both Baltimore Orioles baseball fans. Here is our story: As we all know, the Baltimore Orioles had […]

In 1998, Ann moved to Birmingham, AL, where she met Tess, who would end up being a lifelong friend.

Kidney Donor - Tyler

Several years ago, Tyler overheard a conversation about living kidney donation. This topic always stuck with him, although it would take several years for the idea to come to fruition. Tyler was in a work accident in 2009, which left Tyler with an amputated foot. “I learned to live with missing parts, so I knew […]

Two years ago, Rhonda’s father went into kidney failure because of his diabetes. At the time, he was 74 years old and just starting home dialysis.

Power Player – Rachel

February 20, 2018

Written by: Rachel Adams I donated altruistically to a woman in Pennsylvania. I think I’ll always remember the moment they told me her creatinine levels had gone down to normal. The sun was shining outside my hospital window and my mom and best friend were in the room. I didn’t know how many transplants were […]
