Kathryn Myers-Rabin

Kathryn Myers (Col ’88 CM) is in need of a kidney transplant and is requesting that anyone interested in becoming a living kidney donor register through her microsite at the National Kidney Registry by visiting https://nkr.donorscreen.org/register/microsite?id=8596&donationType=0.

“There is no easy way to say this…I need a kidney ASAP as I am entering Critical End Stage Kidney Failure. I have a condition that is causing my kidneys to lose function. My life is now dependent on the kindness of others via organ donation. I am on the kidney transplant list, but they estimate it will take four years minimum for me to receive a donor kidney due to the great need for kidney donors – I don’t have that kind of time.

“My only viable path is to find a compatible living kidney donor and receive a transplant ASAP. This is a numbers game, the more who come forward for screening the better the odds of finding a transplant solution quickly. If living donation is something you are interested in, you can register through my microsite. You will receive your own advocate who will review all the protections and supports given to living donors. Thank you in advance for all your help here.”
