Becoming a Live Donor?

You may or may not know me, but my name is William Woolrich and I have had kidney disease since I was a teenager (I’m in my 50s now), as a result of an autoimmune disorder. I’ve been fortunate enough to be quite stable for many years; but unfortunately, this fall (2022), my kidneys quickly deteriorated.
