| I was honored to give my brother, Patrick the gift of life. It has been almost two years since the transplant and he is doing great! I have and never will have any regrets. It was not only a gift to him but to his wife, children and siblings and parents. We still have him in our lives and nothing could be greater! | ||||||

| Yo, one kidney, Danny. One year later I reflect back over the many, many laughs, tears, and hugs. God did a tremendous thing through you and Melissa, and I thank him and you both. I was a breath's way from dialysis, and with 3 young boys and a beautiful wife, I wasn’t ready to hook up to a machine every night. As I look back, everything happened so fast and with purpose. Love, yet again, came down. | ||||||

| Ian,words can never express what you mean to me. You have not only helped me THROUGH the rough times, you helped me LIVE through the tough times. Without you I would never have known what it was like to be a mom, go back to school or to see the Bahamas! Three years after transplant, we are still here going strong. You, the puppy-Homer, me with your kidney and our daughter Karina! I look forward to what life still has in store for us. I will love you forever and always. OXOXOX | ||||||

| I am so proud of my younger brother for having the courage and the love to donate a kidney to me. I have been fighting with kidney disease for quite sometime since about 1993 and having to go through both Hemo/PD, it was a hard time for me. I appreciate having a wonderful and supportive family to keep me going. After my transplant in 2002, I was able to get married in Hawaii 2003 to my husband whom I met on diaysis. I feel blessed each and everyday and now I am a Peer Mentor for The National Kidney Foundation of Mich, Ann Arbor. I love my kidney family --Big Kiss from the Kidney Cutie-- | ||||||

Scotland |
| My sister Fiona (33) has many illnesses made worse 2 years ago when her kidney function failed. We are a small family - parents and three daughters - I wasn't allowed to donate a kidney as I had had cancer, but Pamela (35 two days ago!) was.
Pamela is in surgery this morning - Fiona goes in for surgery this afternoon. What Pamela is doing is wonderful. I am so proud of her. I love them both even more (if that is at all possible) for what they are going through today. Gillian Mackay | ||||||

| My sister, Sasha donated her kidney to my 10 year old daughter, Kirstin on January 16, 2008. Kirstin was on dialysis for over a year and it was very hard for her. She is so excited to have her new kidney and not to have to be on dialysis anymore. I may have given birth to Kirstin but, my sister gave her re-birth thru living donation and a chance for a better life. I think there needs to be more awareness on the miracle of living donation. I dont think the words "Thank you" are really enough but Thank you, Sis! Love ya! | ||||||

| My name is Sandra. I married my high school sweetheart (Derek) 12 years ago. Last year sometime in December 2006 we learned the Derek was in renal failure and would have to start dialysis immediately. Before starting dialysis (January 2007)I was tested to see if I would be a possible match for him, and found that I was. We are schedule for our transplant 12/17/08 at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Now, I guess I will be a part of his life FOREVER! :) | ||||||

| Joel we met over 25 years ago. We have been married for over 23 years now and you have always been my rock, my biggest fan, supporter, movitvater, friend, lover, awesome father of our boy and now you are my true hero. Who would have thought that 25 years ago, you would be giving me the gift of life. Fate brought us together, faith kept us together and not we are connected in a deeper way. Thank you for you selfless caring compassion, you are my sole mate and literally, you are my LIFE! I Love you Joel, with all my heart, sole, spirit and of course my beautiful kidney, Karen | ||||||
