Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for replying. I hope I could find somebody that likes me and it's willing to give me another chance on life. Hope the prayers of people who really believe can help me. I'm not a bad person just I'm pretty hurt and sometimes I feel as nobody hear me when asking for a kidney.

Regards,

Gabriela

Thanks Joan,

I had a miracle once. When I was 15. Doctors said that because of so many antibodies I coulndn't get another kidney but it came and was so good. I make in my mind I wouldn't lost it but unfortunatelly my willingness of it to continue working was just a dream. A dream that cost me a lot of time being worse that I would had been if went to hemo before. Anyway it wasn't bad in every issue. Those days I was more positive and that make me feel better. That extra year my parents, a sis and I went to lot of p;aces that we didn't went because of routine. My parents want to gave me the best year before I ...... die and before the blood get more contaminated that I wouldn't feel like going anyplace.
I never felt it was my time to go so it gave me the hope of the kidney to get better. Seem I had side effects that wouldn't let me go yet. Also a kidney donation promise count on it. I thought it was going to be for a few months. I'm surely are a dreamer. When came the time for the donor to do the compatibility he never answer me back. Ny sis it's over weight and just had a baby. Everybody who seem to be willing here seen they gave up or want money in exchange. Anyway, I still dream to find somebody just I can't post to ask for it. Just email when find a post of somebody with blood type 0 to see if s/he want to be my donor. I feel like I don't deserve someone to be my donor but also feel bad to don't show how much I need a kidney:|

Thank you for reading my post, I thought it would sound mean from me.

Good luck,

Gabriela

   Gabriella,

Please know that many of us pray for you each and everyday. We pray that you not only get the transplant you need but that you also get the emotional support you need. From your writing we can see that you are in emotional pain feeling unloved and unwanted. Please do not feel that way. A transplant may well heal you physically, but do not forgot the emotional healing.

To find emotional help it's very difficult. Normal spychologist don't understand a person that had a chonic problem since she was a baby. Anyway, I'm taking 10mg more of prozac, myself didn't notice any change but....

Thank you for your concern anyway.

Regards,

Gabriela

   Gabriella,
If you read the notes people are sending you, you will notice a common thread. Each of us is sending you love and including you in our prayers. Some have even offered to donate kidneys. Yet you talk of being unloved. Please know that we DO love you and pray for you -- you are loved -- not unloved.

To feel the love, you need to love yourself. Help will not ring your doorbell and announce its arrival. You don't need to belong to a church to seek help in one. If one psychologist does not work, find another who does. Help is out there but only if you accept it.

Gabriella, I used to be where you are. I prayed for death constantly. I was very sick emotionally and did not think there was help. It is only when I opened up the opportunity of help that I received it. I am so at peace with the world now and cannot believe where I came from. You will find the same peace if you open your arms to it. You have already moved to a country where opportunities abound. Your best chance at gettig a lifesaving kidney transplant is right here in the United States. Look how far you have come. You may look to the future and see nothing. You should see nothing but opportunity. Don't hold yourself back.

Although I once prayed daily for death, I am now one of the happiest people on the planet. I wake each day alive with the opportunities life can hold. Although I believe in the gloried of the afterlife, I am in no hurry to arrive there.

The same WILL happen for you. Somehow, someday, if you let it.

Now my problem it's the coordinator seem to don't want to talk with my "donor". The coordinator always called my "donor" when she is not in her house and my "donor" never can reach her. We decide to call ourself to find out what it's going on but the cordinator didn;t answer. We left a message last Tueday or the week before and didn't answer ours. We are trying to mail a letter to her superiors but my english it's awfull. So my father who it's the one that knows better about al this it's writting it. He it's kind of lazy and insecure when riding. This coordinator told him medical (medicaid) pays only one crossmatch and we have to pay for others if needed. Now he decide to don't talk abou this right now and finish the letter and send it today. What a psyquiatric can help with? When I was ittle and need a guinea pig doctors were right there. They didn't mind even killing me with their experiments, now the coordinator doesn't mind how I feel, how frustrated it's to me have to go to hemo it's for me. Help isn't for everybody and less when the medical team doesn't show minimal of interest on helping me. My life was too long to make you understand my frustrations. Now, I only know I have 3 little nieces who I would like to see them grow and be with them even 2 of them live like 7 hrs. of car from us. The middle one who just turned 10 month it's all day here with my mother and I meanwhile her parents work.

Thank for trying to help me

Gabriela

   I was reading your story and it touched me, I hope that you find a donor. I really know how you feel, and I can say that because I am in the same situation that you are in, well as far as needing a O type kidney. I will be praying for you.
