"Urgent Need: Stories of Women Seeking Kidney Donors"
TL;DR
Maggie Hengst, a 75-year-old woman from York County, is in need of a kidney due to a rare kidney disease. She and her family are among the few affected by this condition, and after waiting for three years, she is making a plea for a living donor. Hengst hopes that someone will step up to share a spare kidney, as donors do not need to be the same blood type and the procedure is covered by her insurance.
