Giving Tuesday: A Personal Plea for a Kidney Donor to Save My Mom’s Life

This Giving Tuesday, I’m asking for something far more personal than donations—I’m asking for a chance to save my mother’s life.

My mom has spent her entire life doing everything what her doctors asked of her. Because of her discipline and sheer willpower, she managed to slow the deterioration of her kidneys far longer than anyone expected. But now, she’s out of time. She needs a living kidney donor.

My mom has a genetic kidney disease, which means neither her siblings nor her children can donate. She has already exhausted her circle of contacts, and as a testament to her character and her incredible people around her, nine people volunteer to try to help! But they were all ruled out for medical or other reasons. She is still so hopeful, still believing that someone—maybe a friend of a friend, or a stranger who sees this—might be willing to give her a second chance at life.

She treasures her grandchildren. She wants more time with her family. She wants to keep doing the simple things she loves—like swimming, which she’ll have to give up once she starts peritoneal dialysis in the coming weeks.

Today alone she has her regular blood transfusion, a nephrologist appointment, and a consultation with a vascular surgeon to prepare for the catheter she’ll need for dialysis. This is her life now—unless a donor steps forward.

🙏🏼 A kidney donation can save her life.
❤️ A single act of generosity can give her years she otherwise won’t have.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make the biggest impact in the world, this is it. You can literally save someone’s mother, grandmother, and the heart of our family.

If you are healthy, over 18 yrs old , and open to learning about living kidney donation, please visit www.yungyngneedsakidney.org to email privately.

You don’t have to commit—just being willing to explore the process could change everything.
And please, please share this post. The right person may only see it if you do.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for giving my family hope. ❤️

Can you help us? If you know Yung Yung, you've hit the jackpot already! 🏆 My mom is a devoted mother, aunt, sister, and wife who loves fiercely and laughs with her whole heart. In many ways, she's the luckiest woman, but now she needs all of our help.

Yung Yung (aka mom) has a genetic kidney disease and needs a volunteer to save her life with a generous kidney donation - the gift of life. The good news is that she is the optimal kidney recipient because she hasn't needed to start dialysis. But we live in fear of when her kidney function declines, her energy dips, and our time together grows shorter.

What can you do?

My mother, Yung Yung Lok, needs a kidney transplant. She has a hereditary disease - many of us in her family also have it - called Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Can you please share her story with anyone who is interested in kidney donation? Her doctors have deemed her to be a "perfect candidate" because of her otherwise good health.
