Give Me Your Heart..

This close to Valentine’s Day you may think I am soliciting candy and flowers but actually I’m talking about real hearts or kidneys, livers, etc. This week I reported on two men with liver diseases who needed transplants. One got one. The other is still waiting. I am amazed at how many people emailed me and called Ten On Your Side after watching. So many wanted to help. At the same time so many others called because they have a loved one waiting for an organ as well. Can you imagine what it must be like to watch someone you love slowly dying and knowing that a living donor could save his/her life. That’s right, in the case of a kidney or liver transplant living people can donate. If you’re healthy do you really need two kidneys? Seriously though, if you have the power to save a life you should consider it. You never know when it might be you or your loved one who needs it.

i understand. See my aunt is dying from needing a liver transplant.. but we cant find a match or someone that would even give one.. Its sounds like the worst thing in the world to do as far as donating a liver.. but it will save someone. WE have the challange of trying to collect money for her so when she does get the transplant my family can afford her medicains because the insurance wont pay… PLEASE IF ANYONE READS THIS AN WANTS TO DONATE CALL A HOSPITAL OR WHATEVER AN FIND OUT WHAT BLOOD TYPES ARE NEEDED. AN IF YOU WANT TO HELP MY FAMILY THEN EMAIL ME… THANKS
