My blood type is B+ and I'm in excellent health. If we are compatible by whatever other criteria required, I would not hesitate to give you a kidney.

Where do you live? Send me a message. Anyone who knows me knows I would do this in a heartbeat to help someone whose whole life is ahead of him.

I believe so. A close friend donated a kidney to one of his co-workers who had been enduring dialysis for quite a while. No one in the guy's family nor anyone at his church was even willing to get tested. My friend felt great afterward and had maybe a 2-3 week recovery period.

The way I see it, I've given birth and taught high school - nothing scares me. :)

After connecting with the OP, I contacted the university hospital's transplant center and have completed their online donor screening. If everything goes well, we'll hear in 7-10 days about arranging the initial blood tests.

Thanks! My blood's great, I donate all the time. It seems to be a matter of tissue typing and making sure the recipient's blood does not have antibodies to the donor's.

I'm just very lucky, that's all. Let's hope our antibodies play well together - my left kidney is thrilled at the possibility of being inside a 23-year-old body again.
