Still Looking for A Kidney Donor - Not Giving Up Hope

I am reposting this wish in hopes of reaching out to more people. Roshon is still looking for a kidney donor. We came very close to having a donor this past month. The person matched the blood type and completed all the testing, but the final word from the transplant team was no because it was not the best match. So we are still looking. Here's a little information about Roshon.

Roshon is 37 years young and full of life. When you look at him, you would never guess he has kidney failure and goes to dialysis 3 times a week. However, that is the case. Roshon is O+ and needs a kidney donor who has O type blood for compatibility. He is from Maryland and is working with the University of Maryland Transplant Center. There are no donor matches within his family at this time due t...o incompatible blood types or existing health reasons that disqualify them with the transplant center. As a result of not finding a family or friend donor, Roshon is still searching for his kidney angel. The Let's Find Roshon a Working Kidney page will serve as another avenue for connecting him with donors who are compatible and willing to help.

Please also visit his kidney page on facebook to read about his story.

If you are willing to be tested to see if you are a potential kidney donor match, please look on his kidney page for the transplant center's contact information or directly message Roshon through Wish Upon A Hero.

Thank you.
