Danny Needs A Kidney

Hi Everybody - Betsy Gordon here, Founder of  ELVS...

Thank you for visiting this page about my nephew Danny Griffiths.  Danny was diagnosed 4 years ago with a genetic kidney disease - Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) at the age of 36.  He is now 40 and on dialysis.  We are seeking an earth angel that is willing to donate a kidney.   Donor parameters:  Blood Type:  "O", BMI:  35% or less, Height of Donor: 5'4" or Taller.  If you are inspired to register as a potential donor click here: www.pslmc.com/signmeup Reference: Daniel Griffiths   Presbyterian St. Lukes Medical Center:  (720)754-2155 

Meet Danny, Carol,  and Tyler...

They live just outside of Denver, CO.  Danny's Mother died when he was just 3 months and was raised by his grandparents and his Aunt (Betsy Gordon).  Carol works in a Senior Care Facility as the activities director and Tyler their son is in his first year of high school.  Locating a donor would mean this family can stay together for a long time.  If you are in a consideration stage of being a donor, below is a link that can answer some questions: UNOS - Pro's and Con's of Being a Live Organ Donor  

WE HAVE MET THIS MILESTONE!!  

The healing time for a kidney transplant recipient (with no complications) is approximately 4 months.  And even with Danny's good insurance and federal assistance, there are still expenses that are not covered.We have a target of raising funds of $15,579 to carry the family through this journey.   


Good Samaritan Donors...

Donating a kidney to a stranger can help someone live a longer, healthier life. Over 100,000 people are in need of a kidney transplant and out of the 6,000 donors per year, less than 5% donate to someone that they do not know.  I Want to Learn More About Living Kidney Donation


Family Voucher Donation: By donating through the Family Voucher Program, you can donate to a stranger now and create up to five vouchers for your healthy family members should someone you love need a kidney in the future.  https://www.kidneyregistry.org/for-donors/i-want-to-help-a-stranger-in-need-of-a-kidney/
