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.
