Post-Secondary Education is an important asset and LiUNA Local 183 is dedicated to helping our students. Thank you for taking the time to apply and we wish you all the best in your academic career.
If you have ever had the chance to meet Janicem you will surely recognize her big smile and positive attitude. She is always ready to lend a helping hand, open ear or just someone to talk to. But today, our LiUNA Local 183 Sister needs a helping hand from us!
Unfortunately, Janice has been battling kidney disease and will soon require a transplant or to go on dialysis. Things were looking better for Janice as it seemed like her sister would be a match to donate, however, in the final stages of testing it was discovered that she would not be able to donate her kidney.
There is still hope as there is a program called The Love Doner Program that allows interested individuals to get tested to apply to donate an organ to someone in need. This is a great opportunity to possibly save someone’s life.
The program is anonymous and voluntary.
Janice is not one to ask for help or looking for sympathy, she is just a good person who needs a helping hand. There are some amazing people out there and if we rally together, we may be able to make a difference.
