known as a “kidney swap,” occurs when a <a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/transplant/living_donors/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">living kidney donor</a>
is incompatible with the recipient. If an incompatible donor wants to
donate their kidney for Saul and is willing to participate in a donor
swap, Saul's donor's kidney would be swapped with another donor's
kidney that is incompatible with their recipient but whose kidney is
compatible with Saul's body. That saves two lives. Sometimes, chains
of donors and recipients are organized to save more than two lives. Yale
has done as many as <a href="https://youtu.be/HxKRnkXepW8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">9 transplants in a single chain of donors and recipients</a>.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><u><b>About Costs</b></u>: <u>Reasonable cost reimbursement is legal</u>.
Title III of The National Organ Transplant Act, 1984, Pub. L. 998-507,
allows for reasonable payments associated with the removal,
transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control,
and storage of human organs as well as for the <u>expenses of travel, housing, and lost wages incurred by the donor of a human organ in connection with the donation of that organ</u>. While reimbursement of expenses is legal, payment for the <u>acquisition</u> of an organ is not.</span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">In
addition, our medical insurance covers the costs of medical care and

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">When
I was younger, I witnessed a motor vehicle accident victim lying bloody
on the asphalt receiving last rites from a Catholic Priest. I stopped
my car, went to help the victim and gave life-saving CPR and
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. I watched with relief as the accident
victim regained the breath of life. His life was saved and my life was
forever transformed. It was a miracle. I realized that even when faced
with the certainty of imminent death, life was still possible. I was not
going to give up until all possibilities of revival had been
administered.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As
I never gave up on anyone, I hope and pray that someone will recognize
my contributions and my zest for life - and won’t give up on me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
was honored in the New York Daily News and other publications for
“Heroism on the Highway,” but it goes much deeper than an article of
recognition. When you help save a life, your own life takes on greater
meaning and you are forever changed. The most dire situation can be
reversed through human compassion and only then can the certainty of
death turn to renewed hope and back to life again. Even in the faintest
breath, there is life and even in a small glimmer of hope, there is
light.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />I
also volunteered at the site of Ground Zero, near the rubble of the
fallen Twin Towers just a few days after the catastrophe. The
devastation and the smell of burning fuel will always linger in my mind.
The brave firemen and rescue and recovery workers were still
frantically searching through the debris for any sign of life. Many of
the workers themselves were injured from the physical strain of their
valiant efforts and my squad was there to help them manage their pain.
NYPD directed us to St. Paul’s Chapel, directly across from the site,
where we administered first aid and physical therapy to scores of
injured workers. This experience was life-changing, life-affirming, and
further reinforced my passion to help people during challenging times.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Throughout
my life, I never thought twice when someone needed my help - never
thinking that one day I might need to be at the mercy of another to save
my own life. That day has arrived and I can only hope that someone
reads my story and will become my hero at this critical time in my life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: small;">I
have been advised by my doctors that if I receive a kidney transplant, I
could return to my chiropractic practice and continue to make positive
contributions to others. I want to be with Stephanie, my devoted wife
of 29 years, and our four fabulous children for a long time. My family
still needs me and I hope to live to see grandchildren in the future. I
can only pray that a compassionate angel comes forward with a kidney so
that I can regain my strength and return to my role as a healer and
family man.</span></div>
