An insightful testament to the impact of living with purpose, kidney donor, Rachel Bennett Steury, shares an extraordinary tale of altruism, guiding us through anxiety induced exam rooms and tender family memories, emerging as an inspirational beacon for the power of storytelling.
The Foreword by Ned Brooks, founder of the National Kidney Donation Organization, reminds us how rare non-directed kidney donors are and why. The Afterword by J. Randy Johnson, retired Steelworker, confirms that when we unite in solidarity life changing things can happen.
Ideal For Readers Who:
…love when altruism has a ripple effect.
…want to learn about organ donation and transplantation advocacy, kidney chains and kidney donation.
…are eager to support working-class storytelling.
…grapple with grief and family trauma as empaths or introverts.
Discussion questions included. Human Authored Certification 8113141.
Losing My Kidney and Finding My Voice offers a first-hand account of the author’s experiences donating a kidney to a stranger, through the National Kidney Registry. Insights from Katie Couric, Oprah Winfrey, and her own grandmother prompted her to continue the family legacy of donation that began with her uncle, a beloved deceased organ and tissue donor. Rachel takes us on her path of self-discovery exploring her family’s history with grief and suicide, and how it influenced her to put her kidney on a plane without her.
Rachel’s working-class values, coupled with decades in her union, the United Steelworkers, informed her decision to donate and her advocacy work. Volunteering with organ procurement organizations confirmed her story, like her kidney, needed to be shared. From advocating within the halls of Congress to representing living donors in the Rose Parade, Rachel discovered her voice and a realm of possibilities for a purpose-driven life.
