Appeal from PEGGY PARSONS MCDONELL ’91
For those who don’t know, Peggy’s youngest son, Michael Bennett McDonell, he was adopted from China and was born with a solitary kidney and chronic kidney disease. After years of exceeding expectations regarding his health and kidney function, Michael is now in need of a kidney transplant. Michael is a compassionate, outgoing, and loyal young man who loves soccer, performing in school plays, and supporting those around him.

His family is seeking a living kidney donor. Potential donors should have Blood Type O and no history of diabetes or high blood pressure.

All testing and medical costs are covered by Michael’s insurance.
To learn more or complete a confidential donor questionnaire, visit:
www.baylorstlukeslivingdonor.org
Questions about donation may be directed to Baylor St. Luke’s Transplant Team: 832-355-9494; or contact Michael’s family directly at [email protected]

Please note: While St. Agnes Academy does not typically share individual fundraising or donation requests, we felt this request was exceptional and deserving of special consideration because it is the opportunity to help save a young person's life. Please consider sharing this post.
