- דרוש תורם
כליה. ש., אב לשלוש בנות, קיבל לפני שבועיים את
'הבשורה' שהוא זקוק להשתלת כליה! אחרי ההלם הראשוני, נבדקו בני
משפחה פוטנצייאלים לתרומת כליה עבורו, אך נפסלו ע"י הצוות
הרפואי. הכניסה ל'תור' הארוך, גרמה להלם השני! הפחד מהלא נודע,
ההמתנה מורטת העצבים, החיים באי הידיעה ובאי הוודאות, גורמים
להלם השלישי. אם מישהו מכיר תורם פוטנציאלי שמוכן לתרום חיים,
אנא צרו קשר בטלפון: 0556740249 (טלפון כשר - ללא הודעות) ותהיו
שותפים בהצלת נפשות - פשוטו כמשמעו.
