Having a loved one on an organ donor list is really hard, my Aunt has been on one for years, I just found out tonite that they have given up hope on her getting a full lung transplant and now her cystic fibrosis has become severe enough she is in desperate need of a live lung transplant, many family mebers have been tested but few have the A positive blood type my aunt needs for her transplant. My aunt has around a year to live unless she receives lung donations from 2 seperate donors with A positive blood. To donate they will take out the third valve of your lungs and put it into my aunt, it will leave you with 80% lung capacity and a scar across your chest, but it will save a life. My aunt has battled cystic fibrosis for 40 years, she has a husband and a ten year old daughter who need her, a year left is not enough, she has had two sisters die from this disease, so she intends to beat it. If anyone is located in the Mass-NH area, has A positive blood and would be willing to donate part of your lung to help out my aunt could you please get in touch with me through e-mail! And goodluck to Kurt, I have an organ donor card and it now has a note asking to help Kurt out with first priority. My e-mail is Soccagirl3@aol.com or Punkadelic3@yahoo.com, thank you so much.
