For years, Eddie has said that he wants to donate a kidney, yet he doesnât do anything towards it. Â
His mother was in town last week and she has 13 brothers and sisters and she told him that one of his uncles was not doing well. He had gotten both of his kidneys removed and had been in and out of the hospital. Then it clicked for Eddie that this could be the sign heâs been waiting for to finally get tested for a kidney donation. Â
He has 30 cousins, and no one has stepped up to help, so he plans on contacting them all to get tested to see if anyone is a match. Heâs not sure if theyâd be willing to get tested and if someone were a positive match if theyâd want to donate their kidney. They also donât know all the details about their cousinâs condition and if heâd want a kidney donation. But this is the first time Eddie is taking an actual step towards this and plans to get tested this week to find out if heâs a match for his uncle! Â
