Joseph Jurkivo (my fiancé) is in need of a Kidney Transplant. We are here to find a living donor or a Paired Exchange Donor. He has been on dialysis for over a year and on the transplant list for 3 yrs. We first met when we were 17 years old right after his first transplant. That kidney gave my fiancé and I the best 18 years of our lives. We were the best of friends and our friendship just continu
ed to grow. We were blessed with twins (boy & girl) Joseph & Gianna in April 2014 but by Christmas what we had feared had happened. It has not always been easy for us, he had missed their first Christmas in 2014, because he was in Renal failure and was in the hospital getting an emergency neck line put in so he could begin dialysis. Family and friends have been tested. We believe that his match is somewhere out there! We are searching for our angel and we are praying for a miracle. I feel it's my duty to care for my family. I want my children to to grow up with their daddy full of energy, full of life and healthy. It breaks my heart that our babies want to play with their daddy and he's to tired and sick from dialysis.
