We are three sisters from New York who were on a mission to save our father’s life…

We didn’t want to see our father wait on the national list or have to be on dialysis. Many chronic renal candidates think there is no hope for them. Our dad felt the same way until we did our research. The three of us knew that there was hope out there. We were determined to find it.

We started this foundation so we can educate people on alternative ways in finding a donor for kidney transplantation, and help them obtain a living donor. The focus is centered on the idea of the “altruistic donor” or unrelated living donor. It is our philosophy that no one should have to wait for a new life on a “waiting list” or suffer through dialysis if they don’t have to.The more we raise awareness, the less need there will be for a waiting list.
There will be less of a kidney shortage as more people realize that unrelated living donors exist. More hospitals are becoming more open to altruistic living donation as these transplants have a higher success rate than cadavers.Our story is simple. It is a message that conveys the courage to go beyond the norm and act upon it. It is only through courage, persistence, hope and love that we can start saving lives together.
