Local Woman's Plea for a Kidney

WKBW News 7
BUFFALO, N.Y. ( WKBW ) More than a 100,000 people in this country are in need of a lifesaving organ transplant, and an average of 18 people die every day waiting for a donor.

A local woman, who is need of a kidney transplant, is making a public plea for help. 24-year old Jessica Frysz lost the use of her kidneys at a very young age, and now her only hope is for a stranger to come forward to donate.

Jessie has been on dialysis since she was a year old. The process is taking a toll on her life. It's causing her veins and arteries to shrink and harden, and she now receives dialysis through her legs.

Jessie had a kidney transplant when she was 11. The donor was a 40-year old woman who died in a car crash, but the organ was rejected, and it was back to dialysis.
