Reaching Out
I am so very young, yet I am so very ill.
The doctor’s say that I need a kidney transplant because there is no cure.
I hope that someone will be willing to give me one.
I don’t want to die.
Why is a kidney transplant necessary?
Isn’t there a cure for my disease, or all illnesses?
My mommy says that it takes money for research to cure diseases.
Do only parents of sick children know how important donations are?
There is so much that I haven’t done or seen.
What is a first kiss like?
Is a prom as wonderful as I have heard?
Will I meet the person that will love me forever?
Why don’t parents of healthy children realize what they might miss?
I could be the person that their child falls in love with, if I live!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could have someone’s grandchild?
Can you imagine the joy, knowing that I was cured to be part of your life?
I guess it’s too much to hope for because no one seems to know or care about me.
If I could tell everyone how I feel, maybe I could have a greater chance to live.
One person doesn’t have to give a lot of money to fund research.
Many people giving a little money will be all that is needed to succeed.

Beautiful Russ my friend! Thank you so much for allowing me to do this collaboration with you . I am very honored !!!! My god bless little Kayla !
Wonderful, and touching, writing.
Miracles happen! Sometimes it hard not to ask why things happen, but I have aways tried to have faith that things will work out! I was glad to hear Kayla is greating her transplant! I am sorry to hear of the loose of one life, but greatful to hear they choose to help somebody else as their life ended! Being a organ donor, and helping those who need transplants, is a Miracle! May your spirit soar forever!
This is so sad and moving ………
I just want to thank you so much..This kidney was such a God send…so very fast and Jen was not prepared..I now have to get going on fund raisers,,golf tournaments, poker runs, etc..Jen will not get any pay from work,as she did not give her kidney, so is not eligible for income,,Just personal leave..I found this out today from our HR dept..So yes,,she will need some help..I will see that she gets it somehow..I promise that !!
Very touching and motiving …..Being a donor is the best gift of life one can give to another ….
