I was recently contacted by a fantastic orginization called Live Kedney Donation. LiveKidneyDonation.org is part of The Charles and Jennie Machado Foundation. A foundation that was created out of desperate measures for the Machado's son who went into kidney failure at 24.
Charles and Jennie Machado Foundation has worked to become the voice for so many people who are suffering from End Stage Renal Disease. After their own son was diagnosed and soon after received a live kidney donation, they felt that they couldn't leave the others we had met behind. So in forming the organization they have been able to help find living matches for those in need of kidney transplant services.
Their website livekidneydonation.org now stands as a beacon of hope for those patients who would normally otherwise be placed on a list and wait an indefinate period of time before ever having hopes of getting a donor.
Head over now to have a look at their website, and please take time to spread the word about this organization, it may save a life.
