San Francisco police officer donates kidney to save a stranger
(CNN)San Francisco Police Officer Anna Cuthbertson hadn't considered organ donation until she listened to a podcast about a woman who...
Just registered today. While I hope that no one has to be a position where they need this kind of help, I'm here for anyone who does!
Why would anyone not get tested? Only five days of being uncomfortable can save a life, keep a child from losing their parent, or a parent from losing their child. Really, a no brainer.
So sweet ❤
so I hope someone is reading this that knows about be the match, I'm so totally for this and feel so strongly about it! I signed up and received the kit about 2 weeks ago. I want more than anything to do it……..but after talking to some people I'm kinda weary. Is this a real place. Are the HIPPA laws count for this ( meaning your dna samples only stay in the medical field. And not sold to other people lol??) Unlike ancestry.com.
"By the grace of god" fu&k off. It had nothing to do with some god in some theme park in the sky.
I would love to donate part of me to save a precious life an act of love and kindness women and children first.
You will get 2 shots a day of filgrastim for 5 days on the 5 day you get your last 2 ahots and you will do your donation.
i would like to but theres no donor drive within 200 miles of my zip code which is in Phoenix…
I just found out three days ago iam a match for someone that needs a bone marrow transplant doing blood work let's get this process going and save a life!!!!!
god sent her! you should thank the medical staff not something that does not exist
yeeeesss by the grace of god-the lord jesus christ
donor is very pretty
"By the grace of God" oh please did the grace of God give you cancer as well? I hate how she thanks god for providing her donor instead of focussing on the donor's selflessness – like seriously is the donor even religious?
Wonderful! I'm speechless they are both so beautiful,
I go tomorrow to meet with my doctor about a BMT for the first time. I'm so scared.
i hope i find a matching donor ..pray for me
What an amazing woman, beauty and love from the inside and outside, selfless, warm and giving, this gift you gave will bring you so much love and joy not just from Rhonda's family and friends but from all who live in hope for more women/men who like you…
Wow so amazing stories to see and listen to i didnt have a dry eye. Its so amazing how total stranger come together and one saves your life. I pray that every sick person gets their perfect match!!
MAY GOD BLESS THEM ALL!!
REMEMBER GOD IS GOOD!!
Come on kids, this is a happy story about the gift of life. Don't disrespect about arguing religion.
you should pray for me, brother. not have anger
I actually know a lot of humble atheists who mind their own business (just like i know religious people who keep it out of other people's faces). More often it is the religious people in my face though. I have never seen atheists protesting, handing out flyers, annoying everyone who walks by at my college before but holy shit are there religious people doing so. Saying what I believe, whether you like it or not, is my right and if your faith is strong enough, then it shouldnt bother you.
amazing!!!
Im not a "lost soul" because I do not believe in god. Its really the truth though, without medicine and science all of these people would die. That's why I am on a bone marrow donor list, because there is no god to save them.
God doesn't cure or help you. That makes no sense at all. Why aren't you thanking him when he gave you cancer…if its his plan. Without modern technology and brave people to do this, you would have died and god wouldn't have cared.
i had a trans plant in 2009. for non hopskin lymphoma. doing well. have good days and bad. i often think of my donor. wish i could put a face to the name of the person that saved my life. you are truely blessed to meet your donor. hope all is well and stay strong.
To the potential donors who may hesitate : when you grow old and reflect back on your life, this will be one of the greatest achievements in your life; like:
I studies at this college/university
I raised a beautiful family
I worked for 30 something years
AND I SAVED A HUMAN'S LIFE, I am ready to go now.
I registered last month , and waiting for a call.
I registered in 1996 and recenlty got a call that I am a possible match.
LOVE IS SO AWESOME!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING GIFT~ L I F E !!
In just a few days I make my donation to a complete stranger. I can't tell you how touching it was to see this video and how much I am looking forward to hopefully meeting my patient when the time comes.
I have been on the donor list for 10 months. I keep hoping that I will get the call to donate. One day I will be the lucky person that will help save a life. I hope.
God bless you both!
Very touching
it's beautiful if you had the chance to save someone's life.
This story is so touching! I am thankful for modern medicine and people like Elizabeth!
