Raising Funds For Steve Polk's Kidney Donor

Donation protected
On October 28, 2019, Steve Polk will undergo a kidney transplant thanks to the generosity and sacrifice of a living donor. Steve’s donor is self-employed with a wife and children and will be unable to work while they recover from the surgery. So, our family is trying to raise $8,000 for the donor and his family to help with bills and living expenses during the 6 weeks they’ll be unable to work. While we will never be able to repay this donor for his selfless gift, we don’t want their generosity to cause a financial strain. Please consider making a gift to help during their time of unemployment and recovery. With your help, we can ease the burden of this selfless sacrifice. Steve has been on the waiting list for a kidney for the past 8 months. The average wait time is five years, and unfortunately some people die waiting for a kidney. If you aren’t an organ donor, please consider becoming one. Our family is lucky to have found a living donor willing to give one of their kidneys. Most aren’t so lucky. Thank you.
