Jason's Story
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you today to share some deeply personal news and to ask for your consideration.
My husband, Jason, is currently facing Stage 4 kidney failure and urgently needs a transplant. This is a result of his Lupus diagnosis that he has been living with for the past 16 years. As you can imagine, this has been an extremely challenging journey for our family, and we are now seeking a compatible living donor as his best hope for recovery. (As an O blood type, Jason has the longest wait time from a deceased donor, approximately 7-8 years.)
Throughout his life, Jason has been known for his strong passion to serve his community. Having been a volunteer firefighter for more than 25 years, he has dedicated his time to helping and protecting others. Sadly, he now finds himself in need as he battles this life-threatening condition. Jason has always been the rock of our family-a constant source of strength, wisdom, and love. But now, he needs our support more than ever.
I understand this is a personal and significant decision, and our family deeply respects and appreciates any consideration you can give. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about the donation process, we kindly ask that you please contact The Center for Living Organ Donors Yale New Haven Transplantation Center. For your convenience, I have included their contact information below.
