We have transferred Maggieās care to Boston.
š What this means for everyone is that if you signed up to be a donor, we will need you to sign up again, but through this link for Brigham and Womenās Hospital. We know there were so many people who signed up, and we do not take this for granted, but we do need to ask this of you one more time. We want to emphasize that just because Maggieās care is centered in Boston, it does not mean you have to travel to Boston for all the testing; much of the testing can be done locally.
š We also want to stress that you do not, in fact, have to be the same blood type if you are passionate about donating. If this is the case, the donor team will coordinate a match with the same blood type as you, and once you donate to this person, Maggie can receive a voucher that allows her to receive a transplant from someone who does have the same blood type. If you were set on this before and found out you were not the same blood type, this is another great option that saves two lives.
š As far as an update on Maggieās condition, we wish we had better news. In the past year, Maggie has gone through complications that left her fighting for her life more than once. Sometimes the only thing you can do is fight, and we know her to do nothing less. She is currently on dialysis daily, which helps her to feel better; however, this is not a sustainable solution. She needs a kidney. Despite this, she has still been out in the sugar house and in the orchards taking pictures when she can. We assure you she is heavily involved in the work behind the scenes, as many should know, it is nearly impossible to keep her from getting involved.
š The link has resources on things Brigham and Womenās Hospital offers for donors. Just some of these things include wage reimbursement, travel reimbursement, lodging reimbursement, and thereās so much more. There are also three short videos at the bottom of the page that provided a great overview of donating and the support offered to you as the donor. Itās important to us that as the donor you would be well supported, and we feel Brigham and Womenās Hospital exudes that support. As always, you can reach out to us with any questions.
š You can sign up to be a donor through the link as well as learn more about being a donor: https://nkr.org/DLX986
