Would you?


This story tugged at my heart strings, and I just had to get the word out.

I had the privilege of talking with Matthew Thomas, who is in the fight of his life to do what he can to save that of his mother. Lisa Thomas is a lively, encompassing 48-yr-young lady that has the most beautiful southern twang you will ever hear. She has a great family and dutiful friends.

In most aspects, she is no very different from you or I. Well, except for the incredible fortitude and courage that comes from needing life-saving surgery.

Lisa Thomas needs a kidney.

She has been battling this unique condition since she was 8. Because of the unique nature of her blood type, she needs a special person to donate a kidney for her. Her friends and family jumped at the opportunity, but are not viable donors.

Here is an opportunity for us, as a worldwide community, to get the word out. Tweet about it. Talk about it on FaceBook and MySpace.

Most importantly, if you can, shoot out an email to welovelisat at yahoo.com. Tell them you are keeping Lisa in your prayers. Or, if you feel God is leading you, find out how you can get tested for compatibility.

Remember, there is Someone who gave so much more...
