Title: two potential donors!
Post by: sullidog on August 03, 2011, 06:26:40 PM: Hey all,
I have two potential donors! They are both brothers, I work with them but they found out that I needed a kidney via facebook as I don't talk much about my disease at work.

They are the same blood type and they are researching the info that they need. It's a big dicission for a live donor to do such a thing, I just ask prayers that they make the right decision and that I get a kidney!
I'm not getting my hopes up too much though as I know donors can back out or fail testing.

We took every offer as a huge gift, even if the donor backed out later. I'm pulling for you! :cheer:
