Our Mom, Tammy Jomphe, is in stage 5 kidney failure from having kidney disease. Over time, her kidney disease has gotten worse causing her kidneys to not work well enough to keep her alive. She has started hemodialysis and will continue to do that until we can find her a match. There are currently 100,000+ people on the waiting list for a deceased donor like her. I am not asking you to donate your
kidney, just to share this post in hopes that someone who is a living donor will see this post. I understand that living donation may not be right for everyone, so I ask that you please share this post. What wouldn’t you do to save your mom’s life, to keep her around for as long as possible? For more information, watch this video on the Kidney Pancreas Pre Transplant information session: https://youtu.be/DU0whUHpuH0
Those interested in being a living donor can complete an online questionnaire to see if they are compatible with my mom. This allows you to connect with the Transplant Team at your convenience. You can also learn more about living donations through this site! UCHEALTH.DONORSCREEN.ORG and UCHEALTH.COM/TRANSPLANT and click on the kidney transplant option when you scroll to the bottom.
