SEARCHING FOR A LIVING KIDNEY DONOR FOR RICHARD KATRA | BLOOD TYPE O
Richard Katra is a devoted husband and father of two whose life has been guided by faith, compassion, and selflessness. He is the kind of person who quietly shows up for others, offers help without being asked, lifts people up during difficult moments, and lives with a heart rooted in God’s love.
Today, Richard is facing a challenge he cannot overcome alone. He has been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and is in need of a kidney transplant.
