<div>My Unique Story





</div>





<div>Hello, my name is A’Rihanna Janae Ames. I am a 5-year-old kindergartener and a twinless twin. My beautiful twin sister, Rihanna Ames, gained her wings at birth. We were both premature; as a result, <strong>I was diagnosed with CKD (Chronic Kidney Failure).</strong> My mother is Shannon Randleston, and my father is Tommy Ames Jr. I come to my family, friends, and any donors willing to donate me a kidney. Donors must be 18-73 years of age with O positive blood type. I will be doing dialysis every night. This will help my kidneys do their job and keep me alive, but a transplant would offer me more freedom and the ability to live a longer, healthier, and more normal life. I enjoy singing, playing with my toys, and spending time with my family and friends. Receiving a transplant will give me more time to do the things I love. However, finding a kidney transplant is not easy. <strong>Just ask the 100,000+ people on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney just like me. Time is not on our side.</strong> Some wait for years; many die waiting. The average wait time is 5 years for a kidney from a deceased donor. There is another option: receiving a kidney from a living donor. Asking a family member or friend can be difficult but greatly improves my chances of getting a transplant. A living kidney donation typically lasts longer and has better function. You might not know a lot about living donation, understanding some people are afraid about the surgery and what living with one kidney will mean for them. Here’s some basic information about kidney donation:





</div>





<div>• You only need one kidney to live a long, healthy life.





</div>





<div>• Most donor surgery is done laparoscopically, meaning through tiny incisions.





</div>





<div>• The recuperation period is usually quick, generally two weeks.





</div>





<div>• The cost of your evaluation and my surgery is covered by my insurance. The hospital can give you extensive information on this.





</div>





<div>• You will have a team of healthcare professionals to evaluate you as a living donor. Their job is to help you understand the risks and benefits and look out for YOUR best interests.





</div>





<div>You can also learn more about living donation on the National Kidney Foundation website: <a href="https://www.kidney.org/livingdonation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.kidney.org/livingdonation</a> or by contacting the NKF’s free, confidential helpline at 855.NKF.CARES (855-653-2273) or <a href="https://kidney.org." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[email redacted].</a> If you want to talk to someone who’s already donated a kidney, NKF can also help.

<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story. If donating a kidney to me is something you would like to consider, I would be happy to tell you more about my story and explore the process of determining if you are a match for me. You can also contact my transplant center or reach out to my mom or dad.
