My name is Dave Yelk, and I am currently in need of a living kidney donor. I have created a microsite with the National Kidney Registry (NKR) to share my story and to help make it easier for potential living donors to learn more and begin the evaluation process.
You can view my story here: https://nkr.org/NXH988
The NKR provides support and protections for donors, such as lost wage reimbursement, travel assistance, and more. If someone wants to donate a kidney to me, they don’t have to be a medical
match: by donating through the NKR’s Voucher Program, they can still help me receive a compatible kidney. I am searching for someone willing to donate their kidney and give me the gift of life. Your help in sharing my story could connect me with that person
Thank you for sharing my story!
Everything you need to know if you are considering becoming a living kidney donor, including how the NKR can help you help more people with your donation.
