This Husband Walked Miles Just to Find His Wife a Kidney Donor
11. The Transplant List
Deanne was immediately placed on the kidney transplant list. Sadly, there was the possibility that she would die before receiving one due to the extensive length of the list. According to the National Kidney Foundation, up to 3,000 new patients are added to the transplant list on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, the statistics only get worse.
When you see what the daily death rate is for transplant list patients, you’ll be sick to your stomach.
