This website is a heartfelt attempt to reach out for help to find a living kidney donor for Lucia (Luz) Kenyon. Her situation is serious because since 2021 she has been in End Stage Renal Disease (Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5) ... her total kidney function is less than 15%. In this advanced stage of kidney disease, the kidneys have almost completely lost their ability to do their job. There is no cure for kidney failure, but with transplantation it is possible to live a long, fulfilling life. Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys.
Lucy is listed with the Mayo Clinic Transplant Center in Jacksonville, Florida. She and her donor will be in the very best hands -- Mayo Clinic transplant teams in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota perform more living donor kidney transplants than any other medical center in the nation. Their kidney transplant program has been going strong for over 60 years, since 1963! Their transplant team has extensive experience in even the most complex types of kidney transplantation.
Living organ donation is a beautiful act of generosity and courage. Please explore our website to discover how you may be able to help give Lucy a fighting chance to receive the life-changing, lifesaving gift of a healthy kidney.
A preliminary step is to schedule an appointment to discuss details of the donation process with a Mayo Clinic Living Donor Advocate. Hit the buttons below for either the online form or for contacting Mayo Clinic by phone.
