If you are on dialysis is there anywhere to find a kidney besides UNOS? and I dont mean paying for one.?

My mother was going to give me a kidney but she is not able to because of medical reasons. I have been on dialysis for a year now and I really hate it. Finding a kidney would be such a blessing. I know God has his plan for me, but I also believe in prayer, and a lot of prayers are going up for this one.

Is there anybody else in the family that could be a match? That's always a good place to look first. You have my prayers too hun. Try to find friends who may be a match too. Keep searching dear, you're right, God has a plan for you, and believe it's a new kidney. Good luck on your search

You've already stated the only other way. Find your own match, usually a family member.

Living donors. Got any more family?

Dialysis is rough. God bless you and I hope you get a kidney soon.
