I WOULD NOT SEND THIS OUT IF IT WERE NOT VERY SERIOUS AND TIME SHORT……
As you know, my brother, Ronnie Carter is waiting a kidney transplant. Lately he has been sleeping 18 hours a day and most days even longer. He lays on his heating pad all those hours just to get some relief. After he eats even a small amount of food, his kidneys hurt worse because they are so large there is no room for his stomach to expand after eating. We took him to dinner for his birthday last Thursday but he was not able to stay long as the pain overtook him.
His body gets so used to the pain medications they don’t seem to work as long as they used to, hence the heating pad. We know it is God’s plan and we pray for HIS will to be done and that he gives Ronnie, his Doctors and us strength, courage, peace, guidance, wisdom and comfort during this very difficult time.
THOSE IN MY FAMILY THAT ARE THE RIGHT BLOOD TYPE ARE NOT HEALTHY ENOUGH TO GIVE A KIDNEY. MOST OF US THAT COULD GIVE A KIDNEY TO OTHER BLOOD TYPES ARE NOT HEALTHY ENOUGH TO DO
SO. THIS IS A PLEA FOR A KIDNEY. THE DONOR MUST BE 0 BLOOD TYPE (THAT MAY CHANGE IN A DIRE EMERGENCY) BUT AS OF NOW, THEY WANT ONLY 0 BLOOD TYPE. THE DONOR’S MEDICAL BILLS WILL BE PAID FOR 100% ACCORDING TO RONNIE’S COORDINATOR.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW…..PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL…..SEND IT ON.THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT NEED KIDNEY DONORS. PLEASE CONSIDER A LIFE GIVING GIFT.We would also like to say thank you to those that offered a kidney but are the wrong blood type or have health issues of your own. God Bless You!!! SO, PLEASE PRAY FOR MY BROTHER AND SEND THIS TO
EVERYONE YOU KNOW. YOU NEVER KNOW WERE GOD’S BLESSINGS WILL BE FOUND BUT WE MUST HELP FOLKS BE AWARE OF THE NEEDS. May God Richly Bless Each Of YOU!!! My contact information is as follows….

Dear Medina UMC,
Thank you so much for posting my email on your website. It means more than words can say. Now, I am very glad to tell you that September 4th was the six month anniversary of my brothers kidney transplant. It was very successful and he and his donor are doing great. Our families could not have made it through this ordeal without your prayers. May God Bless you all!
In Christian Love,
Debbie Chastain
