A Local Lady Is Reaching Out For Help!
Moss has placed an ad on a billboard on Line Avenue pleading: "Please Help Save My Life! Donate a Kidney."

What do ya'll think of this? I am not sure of my thoughts. It's a brave thing to do..looking for a kidney from a stranger. I wonder if she has had any responses.

Diving In
So here's my first post! I have a friend who received a kidney from a total stranger. She's alive and well and thriving. She knows what a miracle is - that's having someone give her back life and hope and a future. Sounds like the billboard might be an open door for the best kind of Good Samaritan deed.
Okay - that wasn't so bad!! Just for Isaac - be back after Easter. Have suitcase & passport - must travel!! |

"A Special Kind Of Person"
I think it really takes a very special kind of person to make this sort of sacrifice for someone else especially if you don't know the person. There is always a chance you may need that additional kidney so there is a great risk on the donors part.
I think we all need to keep this lady in our prayers and hopefully she will find the right person to make that sacrifice. |

They can make a kidney for her from her own stem cells, no problems with rejection, no donors needed. All it takes is time and money. meanwhile, she can stay on dialysis.

Al, can you back that up?
I think if you are willing to donate a kidney there are stars in your crown when you get to heaven. It is a wonderful thing. There are so many things like this we can do to help our fellow humans. It is along the same lines as giving blood and also signing up on the bone marrow donor registry. Lots of people are in need of bone marrow donors. I hope this young lady finds a kidney, and soon. |

Well, using stem cells, scientists recently "grew" a human liver in a liver-shaped mold...fully functional.
Absolutely, I agree that its just this sort of self-sacrifice for another that makes humanity worth saving. I have no doubt that some kind, generous soul will step up to the plate!
