My brother needs a kidney

thedreamthief · 03-28-2008, 01:37 PM

First, I would like to apologize for the solicitation post. Mods, if inappropriate, please delete.

A few years ago, my brother, then age 27, was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure, specifically Focal Sclerosis – a scarring of the kidneys. This is a rare occurance in someone of his age. Luckily, due to his age and good overall health, he is doing quite fine overall.

He has been trying to find a donor. There have been many of us that have tried to help him, but were phased out during the screening process.

He has set up a website at Andrew Persaud's Website > Home in order to locate a donor and promote kidney health and awareness.

If you or someone you know may be interested in donating a kidney, please visit the website Andrew Persaud's Website > Home to contact him.

Thanks for the time, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S As always, your prayers and wishes are deeply appreciated.

I'll say a prayer for your brother tonight...

Good luck to the both of you.

badgergrl · 03-28-2008, 02:21 PM

Definitely got some prayers coming your way.

I know what you're going through. My Dad is waiting for a liver transplant. For me, the hardest part is not knowing what to prepare myself for....but we try to never lose hope.

All the best to your family

Many people don't realize how important organ donation is.
