:bandance; Thank you all - I hope it works.

DONE !

:2thumbsup; Thanks everyone. I also posted a craigslist ad and heard from one person already. Wrong blood type but maybe could be used in a swap. The best thing would be to bring a O donor to swap because they can help a greater pool of people, but this lady is A. But very nice to get a response!
-
:2thumbsup; So happy that you've received a response! At least you know word is getting out. Praying for Jenna's perfect match - or at least a good swap partner - to show up.
-
That's wonderful you got a response!!! Best of luck to to guys that one will response that is a match!!

Craigslist: I got this email today...
Hello,
I know of a nice couple near Quito, Ecuador.
They work with a Surgical team to match a living healthy donor
to their U.S. Kidney recipient.
The total package is 90k dollars which includes everything but
the airfare to Quito. From what I understand it even includes the
anti rejection drugs for post surgery.
If I can find out any more info for you just let me know.
Best regards,
DD (Name withheld by me)
I won't respond. Waste of time. ::)
-
Clever girl, I find those things absolutely incredible.
lots of luck, and love Cas
-
Ugh. Some worms coming out of the woodwork... ::)
-
Only 90K! Gee, what a bargain! ;D
-
done

A friend has been donating his time to produce a short film about Jenna needing a kidney donor. We are also hoping to bring awareness to organ transplants and all the people waiting as well as living donation. We have interviews with a nephrologist, a living donor, a kidney transplant recipient and Jenna and I, so I am hoping it turns out good enough to share. We are getting close to being finished!
Craigslist deletes my ads occasionally so I have to keep reposting. I have heard from 2 women who say they have contacted the transplant team, but we have no way of knowing the status unless they update us.

Put liked.
Best of luck! :flower;
-
Liked it.
-
:clap; :thx; Thank you!
-
Liked it. :thumbup;

Wait... Quito, Ecuador .....
now I know why they have given Julian Asange asylum!!! Finally he can be useful for something!!!!
(in case anyone wonders I was loosely associated with dealing with some of his nefarious hacker activities in the early-mid 90's....)

:bandance; We made it to 500 LIKES!
Thanks to all who helped us. :thx;
If you have a kidney-search facebook page of your own, please let me know and I will share it on Jenna's. :waving;

We've been fortunate to have our friend Mark Hovater share his film making skills in a mini-documentary about Jenna needing a kidney donor, living donors and organ transplant awareness. She has been on the wait list nearly 2 years, along with 114,000 other people who need organs. Today Mark worked with Jenna and filmed her perspective. More news soon!

Liked it!
Here's another Facebook page that features individuals in need of kidney transplants. Put Jenna's page on there too. They'll feature it and get you some more attention. Mine is today's featured page.
