Welcome, amazing work! What is your secret to keeping the story clear, with an engaged writing style, when you are sifting through so many facts and weaving a narrative?

Thanks for being awesome :)

You are an amazing person. Reading things like this is so uplifting. Thank you for being you and doing what you did.

My sister-in-law is 30 years old, a marathon runner, (3h24min!) and has late stage 3B kidney disease, rapidly progressing to stage 4. If I find that our blood types match, I would like to donate my kidney to her. I know the donated kidney does not last a lifetime, so this would need to be timed appropriately by the phase she would go on dialysis. My questions are the following: -I would like to do this anonymously. I don’t want her to know it was me, or even that it was someone she knew. Is it possible to do a directed anonymous donation? -Is it possible for her to have two transplants in her lifetime, therefore significantly reducing her suffering and allowing her to live with regular kidney function for the rest of her life? And would having had a first donation reduce her chances for a second donation?

Thank you so much. Wishing you peace and lifetime of happiness.
