We are thrilled to announce that we will be able to remove this very important page. Dale received a kidney transplant yesterday at Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh. Both Dale and donor are doing fine.

The donor is anonymous, at this point, but doctors tell us that she wishes to meet Dale at some convenient time in the future. We, of course, would be thrilled to meet the thoughtful and generous person who offered Dale the chance to save and change his life.

Thank you SO much for reading and sharing this page - it has meant more than you can ever know.

If you can, be an organ donor. You’ll change somebody’s world. ♥️🌎

Good Evening from the 11th floor of Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh PA! We had a speed bump this morning and things were delayed, but Dale’s surgery went well and the new kidney started right up and began to work! He is currently being discharged from post op recovery! My prayers now shift to a swift and easy recovery for both Dale and his Angel donor! Thank you all for your continued prayers and support, it means the world to us!!

To our donor: May God Bless you abundantly for this amazing selfless donation of Life! Words simply cannot express how grateful and awestruck we are! You are a true Angel on Earth! We pray that you heal quickly and wish you and your family the very best of health throughout your life! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Kidney Disease is a terrible disease that is becoming more prevalent in our world. Dale is back in the hospital again fighting an infection. As time goes on, it becomes more and more imperative that he receive a kidney! We are hoping someone will be his life saver soon! Thank you all for your support this far in sharing Dale’s story! We ask your continued support in our search!

***fine print: we have been getting a lot of requests from people who want to sell their kidney to help their family or financial situation. While we sympathize with their plights, we are NOT looking to BUY a kidney. ***
