A friend has posted this, and I am sharing it in the hopes that someone I know knows someone who is interested in exploring whether they can help. Thank you for reading this, and for sharing it if you're able to. And please circle back if I can assist in connecting you, or a friend, with my friend. Thank you.

Dear Friends: As some of you may know, I have kidney disease due to diabetes, and I am currently on dialysis. Fortunately, I am on a kind of dialysis that you can do at home, overnight, which allows me to lead a pretty normal life.
But it does place some limitations on the things I can do. So, in order to extend my life expectancy and enhance my quality of life, I am hoping to get a kidney transplant. I am on the waiting list for a kidney from a deceased donor, but that can take a number of years. The best option would be a kidney from a living donor (such as a friend or family member), because there would be much less of a wait and kidneys from living donors tend to last longer.
If you have ever considered kidney donation, or if you would like to learn more about it, please message me privately. And if you know anyone who might be interested in kidney donation, please feel free to share this message with them. Thank you so much for your consideration and for taking the time to read this post. I really appreciate it.
