Another Person, Another Need. Please Help

I received this e-mail today from Deb Hall-Reppen, wife of Steve's brother Rich.  Their son, (our nephew) Tim, needs a kidney transplant. 

Tim Hall-Reppen is a student at Marmion Military Academy in Aurora, IL.    Her words say it all.  Please help if you can.  Thank you so much. 

******************

As many of you know, we found out that Tim's kidneys are failing on September 2nd.  This morning our kidney doctor told us to begin the transplant process.  The good news is that most people have 2 kidneys, and can live with one!  Also, Tim does not have any other health concerns, such as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease.  The transplant coordinator from Rush Hospital asked me if Tim had any people who would be interested in donating.  I have already had some WONDERFUL people step forward to say that they would be willing to donate.  Unfortunately, I know that only 10 people out of 100 are viable donors.  If you are willing to donate, or know anybody who would, please let us know. 

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Deb
