LOCATION
Ontario
BLOOD TYPE
Type O
HEALTH
Healthy, with no major diseases or illnesses
Most of us are born with two kidneys - however a healthy person can live a normal life with just one. That means a healthy person can give a kidney to someone whose kidneys aren’t working - the incredible and miraculous gift of living kidney donation.
Tragically, none of Paulette’s family members are suitable donors. In an effort to find his mom the kidney she desperately needs, her son Josh has completed the necessary testing and registered for the Kidney Paired Organ Donor Program.
The Kidney Paired Organ Donor Program connects individuals and families with others looking for living donors. Under this program, Josh would give his kidney to a suitable recipient - and in return, one of their suitable friends or family members would be matched with Paulette.
As Paulette needs a donor with Type O blood - the universal donor - it may take a long time to find a kidney through the Paired Donor Program.
