Kids Needing Kidneys

Kids Needing Kidneys The importance of ORGAN DONATION. My name is Laura Kowalczyk. I am the Founder of Kids Needing Kidneys. old little girl named "Dyman" who had a kidney transplant.

I was on dialysis for 18 months before I had a kidney transplant in 1995. I started this Organization because I fell in love with a 6 yr. I was inspired by her courage at the Clinic when she would get her blood drawn. She has a smile a mile wide and a personality bigger than Texas. When I heard that her body had rejected her new kidney I cried. This meant only one thing, that she was to go back on

dialysis. That broke my heart. She and other kids & babies are hooked up to an artificial kidney machine 3 hrs. a day or more for 3 days a week indefinately, until they get a donor kidney.

Cheers to 31 years of a kidney transplant anniversary! I have not taken one day for granted, even when I have been sick or injured.

“Donation and transplant really comes down to the kindness of a stranger,” Gift of Life President & CEO Rick Hasz shared in an interview with FOX 29 during National this April.
