Hey All

My grandmother had a kidney transplant roughly 7 years ago and her body is now rejecting it. Treatments aren't working, so she's going to have to go back on dialysis and back on the transplant list. The chances of her getting a second transplant that actually works are very, very slim. There are only about 12,000 transplants a year-and there are almost 90,000 people on the waiting list for a transplant. Over 3,000 people a year die on the waiting list.

I'm moving back to NY sometime before Christmas to help her and my grandfather. Please keep them in your thoughts-they need all the good vibes they can get right now.

And please, please, if you haven't already-there's a box on the back of your driver's license that you can check off to indicate that should anything happen to you, you want to be an organ donor. Check that box off, sign your card, and tell your family your intentions-you could save so many lives and improve so many more.


City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Oh my. I'm so sorry to hear that Kyo. Hopefully a donor will turn up.

Edit: That box has been checked for a very long time on my license.

If you take time to help others, you help yourself grow.
If you take time to help yourself, you realize how far you have to go.
If you take time for chocolate . . . you've discovered the secret to a happy life !

You may not be able to "cure" your grandmother, but your presence is bound to be a ray of sunshine to her.

Stay strong.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Be with her, tell her we feel for her.

While on the subject of donations, sign up for the Bone Marrow list too. So easy, so important.
