JOEL Needs a Kidney During my lifetime I have been a camp counselor and a teacher, always interested in helping youngsters. In my adult life I was a volunteer in our temple, helping to raise funds and also an active member of men’s club where I catered the meetings and worked on the bazaar.

Ferenc Needs a Kidney Ferenc “Frank” Jolesz, has dedicated his life to helping people. Despite his health challenges, he balanced the roles of dedicated dad and husband along with his career. He always had time for our gymnastics meets, for trips to Maine and New Hampshire, for watching movies and TV together. In 2007, due to a build up of inoperable kidney stones, he was diagnosed with kidney failure. I was able to donate my kidney to my dad immediately and the transplant was a success. We’ve shared six very special years together since the transplant surgery–years filled with laughter and love. Despite our dad’s determination to follow a strict diet and remain kidney stone free, the donated kidney is being rejected by his body, and he is now in the final stage of kidney failure. Now the man whose contributions to medicine have saved the lives of so many is himself in need of help. He is in URGENT need of a living kidney donor, as he is not a candidate for dialysis due to his intestinal issues and the wait for a deceased donor kidney can take 5-10 years. A direct match for our dad is blood type B or O. If a donor has blood type A or AB, a kidney paired exchange program is an option. Unlike other kidney failure patients, our dad is in the final or fifth stage of kidney failure and we do not know how much longer he has to live. See our website at: Supportferencjolesz.com If you would like to donate a Kidney to Ferenc (matching Blood Type: B), please contact the HOD Society at office@hod.org or by calling 646-599-3895. |

Meir Needs a Kidney My name is Meir. I am married to Smadar and have 3 beautiful children, Noa, Nathaniel, and Yoelle (ages 7-12). I was diagnosed with kidney disease when I was 13 years old. My father donated a kidney, but again I needed a kidney in my late 20’s. My aunt then stepped up to the plate to donate. Both my father and aunt are in good health today with one kidney. About 7 years ago I contracted a virus and my kidney stopped functioning. I cannot work, as I have to undergo dialysis treatment three times a week and travel frequently to Jerusalem for surgery on my veins, as dialysis for the past 6 years has taken its toll on my body. Today, I am in desperate need of a kidney. If you would like to donate a Kidney to Meir (matching Blood Type: A+), please contact the HOD Society at office@hod.org or by calling 646-599-3895 |

Daniel Needs a Kidney My name is Dan Cohen. I was born in the Bronx in 1955. I have Polycystic Kidney Disease, which I inherited from my beloved mother. I have two MBA’s from NYU, founded and managed two advertising businesses over a 25 year period. Unfortunately, the second company ended up going out of business, overcome by the effects of the recession. I decided to amke a career change at that time and went back to school to become a CPA. I passed the four CPA Exams and earned my license this year. It would be so rewarding to be able to have another 20 years to work and help my clients with their accounting issues. To fulfill this dream, I need to receive a kidney transplant. My maternal grandmother passed away from PKD at age 44, in 1936. My mother’s older brother, died from PKD at age 42 when I was a toddler. My mom managed to survive almost 22 years of dialysis. My only sister was fortunate enough to avoid the disease. She told me that she would donate her kidney if and when I reached the point where a transplant would be necessary. Unfortunately she was killed in a car accident in 2007. As PKD is congenital, the doctors do not believe that my kids are viable donor candidates, as they could be at risk. If you are reading this and have type O blood, it would be a major Mitzvah if you considered donating one of your kidneys to me. I give you my solemn oath that I will make you proud of your decision. Thank you for your consideration. If you would like to donate a Kidney to Daniel (matching Blood Type: o-), please contact the HOD Society at office@hod.org or by calling 646-599-3895. |

Marjorie Needs a Kidney I was married to a wonderful man for 35 years. He passed away 4 years ago. At that same time, I had surgery which resulted in a raised creatinine level. I was told by my doctor that I was in stage four of chronic kidney disease. Like so many others, I went into emotional denial. In 2009, I met a wonderful man, fell in love, and remarried. My husband and I are both disabled, not working, and receiving monthly Social Security benefit checks. I will soon need a kidney. My husband originally volunteered to be a living donor, but he is a type-2 diabetic and not a viable candidate. I have a sister, but she has health problems. I don’t have any children nor does my husband. All I can do is hope and pray that when the time is right there will be some altruistic person who will donate a kidney simply because it is the right thing to do. I pray to G-d almighty that my creatinine levels stay consistent and maybe I will be that one individual who goes into spontaneious remission. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. If you would like to donate a Kidney to Marjorie (matching Blood Type: A+), please contact the HOD Society at office@hod.org or by calling 646-599-3895. |

Zofit Needs a Kidney My name is Zofit and I’m 29 years old. Starting from the age of 11 until today I have suffered from kidney failure. After a long wait I had my first kidney transplant operation which unfortunately wasn’t successful; the kidney didn’t last more than a few days. It has been now almost 9 years since that first and only operation and almost 20 long years of daily dialysis treatments without any prospect of hope or change for present or future. Despite my chronic situation, I have managed with the help of the social security rehab program to learn a profession in book-keeping which is currently what I’m doing on a part-time basis due to my special needs. Shortly after my unsuccessful transplant operation, my father brought a friend to our house, a big hairy husky dog called Chetz (Arrow in Hebrew). This dog had a very therapeutic effect on me. It was definitely a love at first sight and though Chetz has died since then, I find great joy and satisfaction in caring for animals especially dogs and now have a small Chitzsu dog called Sandy. I know that the people around me are always amazed at the way I seem to gobble up life and they are all certain that were I only free of that dialysis machine no one could stop me ….. Currently I enjoy doing all kinds of crafts work, jigsaw puzzle, reading, walking my dog. I truly look forward to a future where I could start a family and move from the stage where I look after my own health to start caring and nurturing my own family cell. As my doctors have explained to me, due to my high level of antibodies the only way to ensure a successful transplant is to receive a kidney from a live donor. If you would like to donate a Kidney to Zofit, please contact the HOD Society at office@hod.org or by calling 646-599-3895. |

I worked in a building. unfortunately, since dialysis, I am now extremely fragile and without strength. I am not allowed to drink water; only small sips. After dialysis, I return straight home, into bed. I have 5 children; 2 are married and 3 are living at home. I have no desire to talk to them or even laugh with them. It pains me that I can no longer do anything around the house. I used to be the person who fixed everything around the house; today, no longer. The entire household is under a great deal of stress right now because of me. My wife, who should live and be well, must now undertake both female and male roles around the house. At times, I curse myself and want to die. What am I living for? To be a burden on everyone; to have everyone suffer because of me? I am suffering a great deal.

Gary Needs a Kidney Please help. My dad is dying of kidney failure. He’s 58 years old and over the past 10 years he has been held up at gun point which caused him to lose his business and as a result, he has had to move his family. Shortly after losing his business, he had to have vascular surgery, quadruple bypass surgery and carotid artery surgery. He has been on disability for the last 3+ years and thus, has been unable to provide for his family. He will have to go on dialysis very soon and his doctors said that he will not survive that long on it, given his prior medical conditions. My strong, amazing mother donated her kidney to my father a little over 2 years ago. The kidney has now failed. My brother was ready to donate his kidney to my father. 4 days before the surgery the doctors found a tumor on his kidney. The doctors will not allow me to donate my kidney because of low clearance. My dad needs all the help he can get. He is a thoughtful, amazing person that would do anything for anyone. My mother, brother and I want our dad to be around as long as he can. My dad’s insurance covers all of the medical expenses. We have no one else that can save my dad please help. We would all be forever grateful. I hope for the opportunity to discuss this further and at the very least be able to hear your voice and thank someone who would be so brave that is willing to do this mitzvah to help someone. My dad needs all the help he can get. Thank you for taking the time to read my dad’s profile Blood type is O Positive. If you would like to donate a Kidney to Gary (matching Blood Type: O Pos), please contact the HOD Society at admin@hod.org or by calling 212-213-5087. |

Bonnie Got a Kidney My name is Bonnie Morrissey and I was born at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital in 1950. I inherited polycystic kidney disease (PKD) from my mother. Both she and her only sibling died from the disease. My two sisters have also inherited PKD so that leaves no one in my family that can donate a kidney to me. I am praying for a pre-emptive living donor since the wait list for a cadaveric donor is very long and I am not a good candidate for dialysis. I hope you can help me!! BONNIE GOT A KIDNEY!! |

Enid Got a Kidney I’ve been on dialysis since March 2010, and my nephrologist feels I need a kidney transplant as soon as possible. I was born in Brooklyn, I have a master’s degree in Social Work and I worked as a social worker at Inglis House, a home for the handicapped. My husband and I, made aliya with our children in 1977 from Philadelphia. Since 1973, I was active for Soviet Jewry, fighting for their freedom and aliya to Israel. On a voluntary basis since 1994, I’ve been raising funds for former aliya activists, former Refuseniks and Prisoners of Zion from the former Soviet Union who are in desperate financial need.

Since my kidney disease, I am no longer able to help raise them as I did before. I enjoy my life, my family, children, grandchildren, friends and work, and I hope that, with a kidney transplant, I will be able to continue to do so, the same as I lived before my kidney disease.
