What Kidney Health
Teaches About
Living Your Best Life
& How You Can Help Me Live Mine
I Am a Woman Who Has Created
a Life of Giving
I Spent 30+ Years Helping Others Achieve Quality Lifestyles, Academic Opportunity &
Better Health
For 20 years, I supported educational programs, championing the needs of minority students & was pleased to participate in civic, church & sorority activities.
I volunteered for worthy causes across decades, organizing Healthy Breast Talks for the American Cancer Society & earning the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Metro Detroit Unit.
As some of You May Know, I Am in Dire Need of a Kidney Transplant
I was diagnosed with end-stage renal disorder through a routine checkup and doctors have told me that I need a transplant immediately.
Confronting your own mortality is crushing when you are not experiencing any symptoms.
LIFE TIP: Sometimes life suddenly changes without obvious syptoms."
Lynette Adkins, Searching for Kidney Donor
Soon After my Diagnosis, I Received an Extensive
Kidney Transplant Evaluation
And after many tests, I was grateful & encouraged to learn that that I was approved for a kidney transplant at the University of Michigan & the
Mayo Clinic, Arizona!
However, I have a complicated medical history causing a very high antibody factor. That means that only 2 people out of 100 tested will be a match for me. To aid my quest, I have joined the PairedMatch Program.
This Program gives me access to 215 hospitals throughout the U.S., increasing my match potential exponentially. So I need donors who are willing to join this lifesaving Network!
LIFE TIP: Problems offer opportunities to
notice that we're
surrounded by answers.
Needing a kidney donor
is a challenge but
I continue to marvel
at how programs
like PairedMatch
can assist me.

PSST...
I Tell You My Secret...
I am an agonizingly private person &
it is difficult to make such a personal
appeal. But my best chance at
receiving a life-giving organ donation
requires are broader search.
A doctor from the Mayo Clinic once told me,
”You never know where your kidney may come from.”
So today, I ask for your help to find out.

WHAT'S RENAL DISEASE ?
“Kidney disease occurs when a…condition impairs kidney function, causing kidney damage to worsen over several months or years…the gradual loss of kidney function — reaches an advanced state…[and the kidneys lose the ability to filter waste] and excess fluids from your blood...When your kidneys lose their filtering capabilities, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body.
[Ultimately] With end-stage renal disease, you need dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive.”

How Will You Help?
LIFE TIP: Through the Years the Charities that I've Supported Have Been a Source of Inspiration. I Always Knew that Living My Best Life Required Supporting Someone Who Needed My Help.
And Do You Know What? All That I Shared with Others
Served as the Greatest Source
of Satisfaction &
Fulfillment for me.
You'll complete a quick & STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL questionnaire. If you meet the living donor criteria, you will be contacted by either the Mayo Clinic or the University of Michigan Kidney Transplant Center.
The kidney donation process provides an opportunity to receive the most thorough medical assessment of your life. Everything will be tested from head to toe to protect your health.
Of course, all expenses and fees are covered by my medical insurance carrier. While it’s a felony to buy or sell organs in the US, we’re able to pay for travel, housing & to reimburse other expenses.
May God be with you and bless you abundantly for your help!
Our goal is to process 500 Donor Questionnaires by December 1, 2020.
This enables the medical staff to evaluate enough candidates to find a match for me.
That means I need a steady flow of visitors to this site EVERY DAY & you can help with a single post or multiple posts on your social platforms.
My Husband, Kedrick & Kim Moore are the Lead Donor Advocates and they will make the process quick & easy, answering questions & even providing promotional items like electronic flyers & pre-fab media posts.
I learned that Helping
Others Helped Me!
Charity & Kindness is How We Live
Our Best of Life!
