Ok everyone. It is now very real…. Our sister, Christina Storm has been battling for almost 2 years now, but kidney disease has taken over. The nest step on this journey is seeking volunteers to test and match to donate a kidneys. Sadly, none of our family meets criteria to test for a match.

We need everyone’s help here. Please contact Loma Linda Kidney Transplant team if you may consider becoming a live kidney donor. You can always send me a DM if you have questions about the process.

Our family thanks everyone for their support!

Hi Everyone!

My sister is reaching a critical stage. She has filed for the “Living Kidney Donor” program with Loma Linda University on Southern California. I regret to say that most of our family do not meet the criteria to donate. We are now asking for volunteers to sign up and be tested to donate.
