Help find a Kidney for Marielle!

I know that I don’t normally post things like this, but I couldn’t resist.  If I can’t also use my site as a means to help people, well, what am I here for?

Lisa – aka The Domestic Diva – is in a desperate search for someone to donate a kidney to her daughter Marielle.  She only has 6% kidney function left, so she really is leaning on the support of others.  All family members thus far have not been a match.  Marielle is only a match to 1 out of every 50 people in the population, most are a match to 1 in 2.

If you or someone you know might consider being tested to see if you are a match, please read her post “Sew Urgent – Help Save My Daughter’s Life” for more information and to download the form that potential donors need to fill out.

Honestly, I can’t imagine what she must be going through.  If this was my child I would stop at nothing to save her life, and we owe Marielle that same thing.
