Rick and I are reaching out to our friends and family for your prayers and support. In early June, Rick was diagnosed with stage 4 renal (kidney) failure and is needing a kidney transplant. We are asking for your help getting the word out that he is needing a transplant. Our hope is to find a living donor to avoid the 3-5 year wait for a deceased donor kidney. The living donor kidney also has a much longer and healthier life after transplant.
We would appreciate you sharing this with your FB friends, family, church and any other platforms you may have. Anyone interested in finding out more information about possibly being a donor can contact OUHealth.com/LivingDonorProgram, call 405-271-7498 and ask for the transplant coordinator, or scan the QR Code provided and include Rick Sturdy’s name. OU Health can answer any questions someone would have and the person is not obligated just for inquiring.
We will be setting up a page specifically to keep everyone updated. Thank you for your prayers as we navigate this unexpected life change.
