Fortunately, she was able to use her fear as a superpower to attract interested living kidney donors. This is what she hopes for you.
So, if you are feeling confused, intimidated and overwhelmed, know that you’re not alone. And, if asking someone for a kidney is an unthinkable ASK, know that it is perfectly normal to feel that way.

The highlight of the author’s life was the day an unexpected, unrelated, living kidney donor offered to give her a kidney – and tests revealed a sister-like match.

As told in this informative book, Risa explains the value of proactively choosing transplant over dialysis, and the need to work a proactive plan in order to shift one’s fate.
