A kidney for Richard🙏😇💝

My dear friend Richard (Lynne's loving partner) is asking for help to find a living kidney donor. Richard says, "You never know who will donate a kidney unless you ask. This is what I am asking you to do: please help by sharing this flier, or by considering donating a
kidney to save my life through OHSU. Your active support could truly make a life-changing difference.
Call the OHSU Living Donor Program, at 503-494 8500,
or Email OHSU at- [email protected] for more details."

Some of us had the good fortune of attending Be Lev Echad in Vancouver recently! I look forward to hearing about your favorite dances! Soon I’ll be able to review the dances and include your favorites in our repertoire.
