Tori McCoy has kidney failure.

[Volup1]

I just saw this and wanted to give it the broadest possible exposure. Tori is in need of a kidney transplant and is awaiting a donor. Tough thing for a young woman (or anyone) to have to deal with. Hopefully, if this is spread throughout the women’s basketball community, she may find a donor.

I read this earlier on LadyVol Nation I think. Just so sad. We all know life is unfair, but that doesn't make it right. Best of luck young Tori.

Best wishes to Tori! Unfortunately, my kidneys wouldn't pass the test even if she and I were a match.

Prayers.

As some know, my wife is on the waiting list for a liver. That said, livers generally come from deceased folks; live partial liver transplants can be done, but there are strict donor requirements and (in any case) my wife's hardware isn't in the right condition to accept a partial transplant.

Thank goodness that technology has advanced to where there is a reasonable expectation that my wife will, in time, receive a liver (it isn't "urgent", she is still functioning if sometimes struggling) and, after a slightly longer recovery than your daughter (but not excessive) will be expected to resume a normal life (not sure if her other issues from the underlying cause of her liver problems will be resolved or not).

Glad your story had a happy ending, prayers for the WBB player, and hopes that many remember to mark themselves a an organ donor for when they won't be needing them anymore.

You and your wife are in my prayers for an early medical remedy. God bless.

What a fantastic story. Thanks for posting. Her donor is clearly an incredible person. Hope all goes well.
