Lesley's Battle, Help find a kidney donor

not feel well enough to socialize with family and friends and do the things she enjoys. Once Starting dialysis ( usually three times a week for four hours at a time ). Will help her kidneys do there job and keep her alive, But a transplant will offer her more freedom and the ability to live a longer, healthier more normal life. It will also provide her with more time to do the things she loves, like being with her family, her dogs and camping. However finding her a kidney for transplant is not easy. There are thousands on the deceased donor list. And unfortunately Lesley is a rare match. Time is not on our side. However there is another option: Receiving a kidney from a living donor. She unfortunately does not have any matches so far with her family and friends. This is why we are sending out this plea. I know you may be unsure about living donation.
