We just received an email from Wendy at the Roseville Chamber of Commerce about Raniee Sellers.
In Wendy's words, "It has come to our attention that one of our Chamber family members has a great need. Rainee Sellers, wife of Marc Sellers, of Vision Quest Information Solutions, Inc. is in need of a kidney transplant.
Rainee is a vibrant 29-year-old who taught American Sign Language and worked for the Elk Grove Fire Department before becoming too sick to continue working. Rainee has always been an active individual who even started a hiking group. Why are we letting you know of this need? Because the more people who know, the better chance of finding a live donor match for Rainee.
Why a living donor match? There are several advantages to a living donor kidney transplant, including the fact that a live donor organ on average lasts up to twice as long as an organ from a deceased donor. A live donor organ also allows the recipient to not have to wait up to three years on a donor list to receive the kidney -- often times the difference of having to go on dialysis or not.
