Title: Request from KABC-TV Eyewitness News in Los Angeles
Post by: okarol on January 29, 2008, 12:42:38 PM
Received today:

I'm a producer at KABC-TV Eyewitness News in Los Angeles. We're putting together a half-hour special on organ donation. I'm hoping to find someone in the Southern California area who is using the internet to either find or donate an organ. Can anyone help? Please email me at Lisa.Bartley@abc.com or call me at 818 863-7635.

I did speak with her. She seems new to the subject of dialysis and transplants but willing to learn. She spoke of the news reporter at her station who donated a kidney. I hope they do a good story.

If anyone can educate her, it's you, Karol!
