[Ohio-Talk] Our friend, Wayne

[Eric]

This is indeed sad news! Wayne is someone whom I have enjoyed getting to know and spending time with over the years. He is a good man and he definitely believes and blind people. I have the blood type, but unfortunately I had cancer back in the 90s, so I’m sure that disqualifies me. Otherwise I would be happy to donate.

His first step is to be deemed eligible to be on the register. Then, the port will be inserted for him to have dialysis. So, if anyone is willing to donate a kidney, he is, be positive. Please reach out to me and I will help you contact Wayne.

His voice grew tender and somber, stating that the physician explained, it was diabetes and high blood pressure that caused his kidneys to fail. the physician declared; it was nothing that he intentionally did to his body. These things do happen.
