Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel after living with kidney failure for two and a half years, a Kitty man is now seeking the public’s help to cover the cost to determine whether he is a match with a donor he has found.
Joel Semple, who has been unable to work due to his illness, is currently seeking to raise a sum of $1.1 million to carry out a cross-match test to determine whether he is compatible with his donor or if he will need to find another. The test is to ensure the recipient does have antibodies that will cause their body to attack the kidney.
If they are a match, the transplant surgery will be performed at the George-town Public Hospital (GPH) free of cost.
