Elliott is a special friend who knows he will need a kidney transplant in the next 12-18 months. He has been living with kidney disease for several years. Unfortunately, neither his wife nor daughters are medically eligible donors. Please share this request: he needs a living kidney donor. Elliott is not on dialysis and a deceased donor transplant is available only to those already on dialysis. The current wait time is more than two years, hence the search for a living donor continues.
What you can do: Contact Julie Cissell, the clinical coordinator for the Donor Transplant team, at UHN in Toronto. She can answer questions about the donor process. She can be reached at

In addition, information is available on the University Health Network website:

The donor information package
https://www.uhn.ca/Transplant/Living_Donor_Program/Pages/living_kidney_donor.aspx has a space for an intended recipient so feel free to put Elliott Jacobson’s name in anything you post. That’s the only way the donor team will know.
On behalf of Elliott and his wife Judy, thank you for spreading the word. Judy and Elliott are not on social media and I am posting this at their request.
