Mary Zangara Needs A Kidney<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

edit: Mary had a successfull kidney transplant and is now recovering at home. Thank you to everyone that has visited this page. Please visit <\/span>www.kidneysolutions.org <\/u><\/a> for information on how you can be a kidney donor.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My Name is Mary Lu Zangara and I need a kidney. When I was 18 I battled ovarian cancer and I won! Now my battle is kidney failure. A living kidney donation will last longer and has a higher chance of giving me a longer, heathier, more normal life. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank you for visiting my site. Even if you are not in a position to be a kidney donor, you might know someone who is interested! You can help by sharing my story on social media. <\/span><\/p>\n
