This past week, Renewal facilitated its 500th kidney transplant.
This represents 500 individuals – 35 from Lakewood – who selflessly gave of themselves and underwent surgery in order that another person, often a stranger, should be able to live. 500 lives saved, thousands of individuals directly and indirectly effected.
“We mark this momentous occasion by recognizing the absolute true heroes of this ongoing story of Renewal – the Kidney Donors!” says Renewal. “It is because of them that we can hope to continue making such a great difference in so many lives!”
“Simultaneously, we would like to thank those individuals on the transplant teams who go above and beyond the call of duty,” the organization added. “Those select individuals who “get it”. They recognize the sacrifice the donors are making and go out their way to make the process as smooth as possible. It is amazing to see the difference in the care, concern and availability – know that it is noticed and very much appreciated.”
Kol hakovod!
