( LYNN IS CURRENTLY IN RECOVERY, SO THIS IS WRITTEN FROM A FRIEND'S PERSPECTIVE --)

It began with a simple blood test as part of an annual physical exam for a good friend whom I have known since elementary school. The results revealed an abnormal kidney function. Additional tests were ordered and it was confirmed that her kidney was indeed failing; in fact, it was Stage 5 kidney disease. She was immediately placed on kidney dialysis and began to search for kidney. Despite this hardship, as we all know, Lynn remained a loving and caring friend, always more concerned with others than herself. 

Fast Forward 5 years, June 26, 2018 

The day before her birthday, Lynn received news there was a kidney available in Philadelphia that matched! She and her friend, Kristine, hurriedly left for University of Pennsylvania, she had the transplant, and she is in recovery as I write this.  

Any donation to benefit our loving friend, I am sure will be appreciated. It will assist with the expenses of the household as well as the forthcoming uncovered medical bills too! I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I remain optimistic and look to a positive recovery for Lynn. Thanks, Jill
