This message is for any body who will be willing to donate a part of their kidney to me. My name is Maria Luisa Knight but friends and relatives call me Pepper simply because I am a very jolly person.They said I give spice to other people's lives. Someone who puts a smile on other people's faces. And most of all a very positive person with a very strong faith. I dont easily give up.... I always believe that there's always something good that is about to happen. Just needs to persevere and everything will be alright in God's perfect time.

Just have patience. I am 54 years old and in my 5th stage of renal disease (ESRD). I thought of posting here a plea to ask for a kidney donation. I found one last year but unfortunately he got sick and can no longer donate his kidney for my transplant. My husband and I have been everywhere trying to find a donor but we havent succeeded at all. I have a lot of plans... a lot of things that I still would like to share and do in this world but I'm running out of time.. I am doing peritoneal dialysis for 11 hours 7 days a week. I can say that it is taking most of my time and it leaves me very weak before and after every session but I cant complain. I am very thankful because I am still around and still can appreciate this life. I am trying to keep my numbers within the normal range so that when a donor comes and matches mine , everything will be ok. If you are interested you can send me a private message and will let you know how to start the "Kidney Donation"

I would like to continue making a difference in other people's lives. It will be difficult but I know there will be someone out there who will be kind enough to share their kidney with me. I know there'll be.... Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my plea. Have a wonderful day.
