GoFundMe Created For Volunteer Firefighter In Need Of Kidney Transplant
July 25, 2021
Last week, we introduced you to a local volunteer firefighter in need of an immediate kidney translate and told you how to donate to the Cody Green Transplant Fundraiser on Facebook.
After numerous people asked about making donations some other way than Facebook, a GoFundMe account was created. To donate on GoFundMe, click or tap here.
Cody Green and his wife Sarah have a two-year old son. Cody is a Florida Forest Service wildland firefighter, and he is a volunteer firefighter at the Molino Station of Escambia Fire Rescue.
Cody suffers from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a serious condition in which scar tissue develops in parts of the kidney, and it can lead to full kidney failure.
About a year and a half ago he was at 40% kidney function, and doctors thought he would be able to live without dialysis or need of transplant until he was older in his 40s or 50s. But about six months ago he had only 15% kidney function left and within two months was at just 7%.

If you are wanting to see if you can donate to Cody, you can call UAB Hospital in Birmingham. That is the transplant center he has picked. Thank you all for the support and prayers!
I am O Positive and very willing to be tested as a possible matching kidney donor for this young man.
Put me on the list to be checked for donation possibility. Type O positive.
I would like to know where to get tested also. I am type A+ if that qualifies.
Where can I get tested to see if I am a match to donate a kidney

Is there some way we can make a direct donation for this man and his family?
My understanding is that the Go Fund Me thing keeps a percentage of the donations.
If something was previously posted I missed it….sorry.
Would also like to know where i could get tested to see if i were a match to donate a kidney!
How can someone find information on getting tested to be a kidney donor for him?
Thanks!
