The American Kidney Fund wrote this article about Linda and her brother, who also needed a kidney transplant. https://www.kidneyfund.org/article/eye-catching-sign-secures-woman-new-kidney

Just in case you wanted a vision of Shannon - who has taken charge of our household these past two weeks - here she is. We intend to nominate her for sainthood soon. . . .:))))

The lovely flowers are courtesy of my brother Dave, who got a transplant 4 years ago, showing me it could happen - even for oldsters like us who are O+. . . .😀

Whew!

As you can see, we're still eating high off the hog thanks to Revive and Thrive deliveries. Yum!!

A Thumb’s Up from Linda, as she heals at home. Nothing like having a smile of huge gratitude for receiving a life saving kidney from Rachel Snyder. We send both of them a full and complete recovery.

This is Linda and Rachel’s first meet up, before WZZM and WOOD news arrived. They both are glowing.

Mary Ellen McNaughton did an amazing job in creating this large sign for Linda, which helped to attract all of the media attention. Now to pass the sign on to another person in need of a living kidney donor, Felecia L Williams. Thank you, Mary Ellen, for putting in her contact information on the sign.

Thank you Rachel Snyder, for having a heart of gold. Everyone that loves and cares for Linda is very grateful. And I know Linda feels very Blessed.

We first introduced you to Linda Griggs in June, looking for a kidney donor. Thankfully, Rachel Snyder was watching TV at the right moment.

Linda met her living kidney donor today and WOOD TV8 and WZZM 13 were there to capture it. Check it out:

Wood TV 8 interviewed Linda about how her sign helped her to find a living kidney donor. Way to go Linda! And way to go Donor! I know she is very grateful. We are so excited for this gift of a second chance at life.

Linda Griggs just got the call she has spent the last three years hoping for.

We have some Wonderful news! Here is one of Linda’s collages titled, "Raven Delivering the Sun”. Linda created this after finding out that a living kidney donor has been qualified to donate a kidney to her. Linda states, " I am so, so, so grateful to her and to all the other people who so selflessly stepped up to try to donate to me. I am humbled by the overwhelming response from total strangers, which has kept me and my kidneys going for the last three months. I hope that anyone else who qualified but was not chosen will consider donating their kidney to one of the many, many, many others who are on the Mercy Health kidney waiting list."

Here is Pat Newcombe, spreading the word with his T-shirt. Finding a living kidney donor for Linda has been our main goal. However, each time we reach the public about how a healthy individual might be able to share their spare, another person on the kidney waiting list might get a 2nd chance at life, as well. Thank You, Pat!
