I wish to thank every person who does donate blood, or organs, I am the mother of a son who received a kidney transplant on Sept. 2, 2000 in Tampa Fl at the LifeLink Organ transplant Center. My son was born with abnormally small kidneys that only worked at half capacity of a normal kidney. He was 23 when he went into kidney failure and almost died in his sleep. He had toxins build up in his bloodstream to the point that he was rotting from the inside out. When he finally went to the Dr, his blood work numbers indicated that he was already dead but he was not dead but close to it.
