Linda Rubinstein Needs a Kidney

My name is Linda Hannah Rubinstein. I am 13 years old and my doctor says I need a new kidney.  This is not an easy thing to find. There’s a long wait – but I’ve overcome a lot since I was little.

My family is my Mom, my Dad, my sister Mollie, my dog, Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop and Grandma. I like it when we’re all together. I have a good family. We laugh and have a lot of fun. 

I go to school, although I miss a lot of time. I’m very good at math.  I’m also a computer “techy”.  I can get lost in my computer for hours. I love keeping in touch with so many people!!

Right now I have to concentrate on getting a kidney and getting well. I’m a little scared but I understand that sometimes bad things happen to good people for no reason AND THEY CAN BE FIXED.  My doctor says I won’t believe how much better I’ll feel after I get my new kidney.

I understand there are people who want to help people like me who are in trouble.  Will you help me???

Enid
Needs a Kidney

Enid Needs 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. On a voluntary basis I, also, engage in historical research helping those documenting the Soviet Jewry Movement – in order to preserve this precious Jewish history. I am a mother of three and proud grandmother of six.  My blood type is: AB+. I would like to enjoy the future with my family and continue to do good deeds and tikun olam.

Bonnie
Needs a Kidney

See Bonnie on video- English

Bonnie Needs 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 a professional photographer but have not been able to work at my profession recently because of my illness. I am married to a wonderful man and have many close lifelong friends as well as my beloved neices, nephews and a stepson who all mean the world to me. My dream is to be around to see them continue growing into the amazing young adults that they are, to dance at their weddings and to hold their babies.  

Other than having PKD, I am in excellent health.  I live a very healthy lifestyle, practice yoga, exercise on a daily basis and eat a mostly organic diet. My husband and I even grow much of our own food in a backyard garden.  I love life and keep a positive attitude.  I would do whatever is in my power to take the best possible care of a donated kidney.

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!!

If you would like to donate a Kidney to Bonnie (matching Blood Type: A), please contact the HOD Society at admin@hod.org or by calling 212-213-5087.

Yona
Needs a Kidney

Yona Needs a Kidney

I'm a mother of 3 children, one of whom has mental retardation.  He is a lovely child, but needs to be taken care of.  He takes part in many activities, and, since he needs someone to be with him, I take care of him and take him to those activities, including being an athlete in the Special Olympics.  I used to fly with him when there was a competition abroad (like the Special Olympic games). However, due to my medical condition, I have not been able to travel with him and I'm very worried about him.

I have a very nice family and 5 grandchildren, ages 1-7.  Since my kidney disease, I am no longer able to help raise them as I did before.  I'm working as a store manager.  I love my job but it has become hard to find time for both family and work because of the time I spend in the hospital.

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.
Thank you.

Zofit
Needs a Kidney

See Zofit on video- English

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 admin@hod.org or by calling 212-213-5087.

Haya
Needs a Kidney

Haya Needs a Kidney

My name is Haya. I am 51 years old, a mother of 3 girls and a grandmother of 4 grandchildren. I have been working in Bank Hapoalim for 30 years.
My kidneys function at 11% capacity and I need a kidney transplant. My blood is B positive. My husband has the same blood type as mine, but he can not be my donor because, I have 100% antibodies against his blood, and against most of the population. These antibodies are the reason that I need to check as many potential donors as possible, so my odds will be better at finding a match.
Both my mother and brother died on dialysis. I'm begging for help. If you become my donor, I will pay all the expenses of the kidney transplant.

If you would like to donate a Kidney to Haya (matching Blood Type: B pos), please contact the HOD Society at admin@hod.org or by calling 212-213-5087.

Meir Needs a Kidney

My name is Meir and I am a 63-year-old dialysis patient for 5 years already. Prior to the dialysis, I was considered a strong, healthy man. 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. Please help me obtain a new kidney so I can live like everyone else and do mitzvot and chessed for Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
Tizku L’Mitzvot,

Needs a Kidney
Type B Positive (Can accept O donor)
Besides needing a kidney, my father is in great physical condition, strength and attitude to live a long and productive life.
Dad is a professor of electrical engineering and he received an award from his professional society, IEEE, for enabling and encouraging others to achieve their potential in their profession and for assisting immigrant engineers. In one of his many projects, he joined forces with B'nai Zion to help Russian Jewish engineers gain employment in the United States. Mel was instrumental in retraining and placing over 1,200 engineers in full-time employment in their field. As Maimonides stated, this is the highest form of tzedakah. His students look to him for guidance, not only in matters of engineering but also for their most personal problems. He has always looked upon the classroom as a place to prepare students for life as well as for work. To us, his wife, children and ten grandchildren, he is our most favorite person. He always has time for us, respects us, and loves us.

Gary
Needs a Kidney

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.

Shlomo
Needs a Kidney

Shlomo Needs a Kidney

My dad was born in 1960 in Tel Aviv and was raised in Jaffa. He was the first son, with four brothers and sisters following. He served in the Israeli army for five years in the air force unit. He went into the women’s clothing business for the last 25 years. He got married in 1983 to Mercedes and they had two boys, my brother Hen and me, and one girl, Shani. Hen is 24 years old, I am 23 and Shani is 18. On my father’s side of the family, there is a history of kidney problems. My dad’s mother (my grandmother) had a successful kidney transplant five years ago. Now, however, in the last few months, my dad’s problem became worse. His creatinine is very high, around 4.5, and we’ve begun the search for a donor.
My dads blood type is O.
If there is anything else I can offer, let me know.
Thanks
Maor

Rachamim Type B Positive
My name is Rachamium. I am 46 years old and I live in Elad, Israel.
I was born in Petah Tikvah in 1962. I went through the usual track of education from elementary school through high school. After that, at age 18, I served in the Israeli Army as a soldier in the Elite Command Unit. I participated in the Lebanon War in 1982, when I was 20 years old.
After my service in the army, I learned in the Open University of Israel and graduated with a B.A. cum laude. For some time I worked as a teacher in mathematics.
At a later stage in my life, I became ill on account of both of my kidneys. I have been on dialysis for about a year and a half now, and I cannot work.
