SHARON FROM RI NEEDS A LIVING KIDNEY DONOR!

💔 Sharon’s Story:

Sharon has dedicated her life to service—as a Sister of Mercy, a first-grade teacher, and later a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. Her days were spent helping children and families heal.

But now, Sharon needs a miracle.

Last year, she was diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, likely caused by long-term prescription medication. Her kidney function is now below 20%, and without a transplant, she will need to begin dialysis.

Her blood type is O-positive, which unfortunately comes with the longest wait time—up to 8 years for a deceased donor.

Her doctors are urging a preemptive transplant before her condition worsens. The best hope: a living donor.
