CLICK LINK"SHOPPING FOR A KIDNEY" TO VIEW CNN VIDEO ON HOW A PATIENT'S FAMILY USED A UNIQUE APPROACH TO FINDING A MATCH FOR THIS PRE- DIALYSIS PATIENT ON CRAIG'S LIST..FROM A PERFECT STRANGER FROM A DIFFERENT PART OF THE COUNTRY.
A GOOD SAMARITAN, DAWN VERDICK,(SHOWN IN PICTURE AT RIGHT) CLICKED ON CRAIG'S LIST LOOKING FOR A VOLUNTEER PROJECT AND SAW THE FAMILY'S PLEA. A LONG TIME BLOOD DONOR, SHE WAS INSPIRED TO REACH OUT ACROSS 3000 MILES TO GIVE THIS INCREDIBLE GIFT TO SOMEONE SHE DID NOT KNOW. SUPRISING YES, BUT MORE SUPRISING WAS OVER 100 PERSONS RESPONDED TO THE REQUEST!.... AND WILL THIS BE A GROWING TREND?
CURRENTLY 75% OF LIVING DONATIONS COME FROM FAMILY MEMBERS BUT THE NUMBER OF FRIENDS AND STRANGERS DONATING KIDNEYS IS ON THE RISE. SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT AN APPROACH LIKE THIS? WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS. DANIEL FLOOD, THE RECIPIENT IS THRIVING AND FULL OF GRATITUDE ..DUE TO THE KINDNESS OF A STRANGER AND THE INGENUITY OF HIS 3 DAUGHTERS.

Amazing story. Maybe more patients should consider this type of approach.
