Hi, my name is Dyer. You may have gotten the link to this page from me or just happened upon it. This is about my search for living kidney donors for those with kidney failure like myself. Not just living donors, but to anyone interested and willing (here in the US and beyond) to help with those of us with kidney disease and failure.
Many people mistakenly believe you must be a direct "match" to be a living donor. This isn't true. If you qualify and are willing to donate a kidney or part of your liver, you can participate in a paired donation program—similar to a lending library for organs.
Here's how it works: You donate on someone's behalf, and through cross-matching with other donor-recipient pairs, the person you're helping receives a compatible organ from another donor in the network.
You don't even need a specific recipient in mind; you can simply be a living donor and it will go to some who desperatly needs it.
I had a living donor lined up, but unfortunately they did not qualify. This experience made me realize how many people are in need and how important it is to raise awareness about living organ donation.
The organ donation system is crucial because
people die every day waiting for kidneys and other
organs they never receive in time.
The Center For Disease Control
FastStats
reports around 55,000 deaths annually from
nephritis (aka: kidney disease) and related syndromes alone.
If you're considering being a living donor and want to check whether you initially qualify, use the link below. There's no tracking on this site or any of the links provided. Checking your eligibility creates no obligation whatsoever.
Even if you commit and later change your mind, that's completely fine. No questions asked, and no pressure to proceed.
I'm 64 years old, live on the West Coast in the US and am in excellent health except for kidney disease caused by Alport Syndrome. Through regular exercise, following my doctors' advice and healthy eating, I've maintained stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) for longer than expected. Unfortunatly here we are in 2026 and I am progressing to end-stage 5. Which means I'm slowing down now and need a transplant.
I'm committed to protecting my kidney health as long as possible. I even adopted a vegan diet (which has helped) after my diagnosis of Alport Syndrome. If you donate a kidney to help me, I promise to honor your gift and care for it with everything I have. You would be a hero to me, my family, and my friends.
Even if you don't donate directly to me, your living donation to someone else would litteraly be saving their life. If that is not your thing, you can donate to a kidney disease organization, many of which make a tremendous impact. Below are some of my top kidney-related nonprofits. Every contribution helps.
Here are two organizations helping people with kidney disease in different ways:
If you are still open to donating a kidney, and
a check of your eligibility via the link above made you initially qualified
you can find a local
transplant center to get started with the process.
If you are open to considering me as a recipient,
