Journal entry by Joel Shaw

May 5, 2022 Update

Well, we just heard the news that Rocky cannot be my kidney donor. We are SO APPRECIATIVE that Rocky was willing to go through the process.

We will continue to have complete faith and plug forward fully trusting God.

I need to ask anyone and everyone who cares to consider becoming a kidney donor for me.

While the ideal candidate would have B positive blood type to match me it actually can be anyone with any blood type. They have a program called paired exchange where a kidney is donated into a pool and then a B+ kidney is found for me.

I am asking everyone to prayerfully consider how they might help.

There is NO COST for any part of being a donor!

To learn more call Mayo at 866-227-1569 or go to www.mayoclinic.org and search kidney donors.

Thanks again for your continued prayers for Ann and me.

Love,

Joel
