In memory of Nick Crouse, Kidney4Nick will still raise awareness of kidney disease, educating/encouraging society to consider becoming living kidney donors', the process and fundraising to reimburse donors of lost wages and transplant related expenses. He's a beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend. On November 14th, 2012, Nick was diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Failure at Abingt
on Memorial Hospital Trauma Center. He was given emergency Dialysis, Plasmapheresis, and received several pints of blood. His week stay in the hospital was the starting point to a new and very difficult lifestyle for him as well as his loved ones. Since then Nick has endured multiple surgeries and is in need of a Kidney Transplant. He has chosen Penn Medicine Transplant Center to be where he will undergo his transplant. More information will be included to inform potential donors as well as to lead them in the right direction to be a kidney donor to Nick. Nick's blood type is O positive which means he's compatible with O positive and O negative blood types. There are further tests to be completed to ensure the potential donor is a complete match. Please share this page with everyone you know because if not you someone you know could be the miracle Nick needs. Website to Penn Medicines Kidney Transplants
