What It's Like To: Donate a kidney to a friend

Editor's Note: This is the fifth annual appearance of What It’s Like, a proven favorite with readers inside and outside Rotary. - The Rotarian

By: Julie Spann - Rotary Club of Fishkill, New York

I had known Sterling for years. He was the president of the board at the library where I’m the director. He retired from the library but was always part of Rotary, and I joined, at his urging, six years ago. I knew that he needed a kidney and that he had put himself on the donor list, and I knew that I wanted to be a donor myself. But at the time, I was caring for my ill mother and I knew it would be too much. Then my mother passed away.

I waited a few months, then approached Sterling’s wife, Chris, and told her that I’d be interested in donating a kidney to him. I went to Chris because I didn’t know if Sterling would be OK with my wanting to donate. I worried he might feel bad about it. But I knew Chris would say yes.
