Our cousin and Uncle Harold's and Aunt Phyllis' daughter, Cynthia Stanton-McKnight, shown above with husband Scott, is needing a kidney transplant. There is a chance that one of us, her family, could be a living donor. Below is part of her posting taken from Facebook:
It is official. After the results of my blood type, match, some DNA test, I will be put on the Registry for a kidney. THIS IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP! The average waiting time for a deceased donor is 5 years. I am reaching out to anyone who may have ever considered donating an organ. I have the information you need and would be more than happy to pass it along. Please feel free to talk to other people who may have considered it.
If nothing else, prayer and positive thoughts headed our way is appreciated. This is a huge undertaking: spiritually, financially, physically, and emotionally for me and Scott. want to thank all of you for the support and initial questions.
If you are interested in the "application" to be a donor please visit the following link. Also, know that MY insurance pays for all testing that is required and I have no idea who applies, only of you are a match. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERATION!!!!!
