Regarding the book pulled off library shelves: “any book worth banning is a book worth reading!”
I just read this story and It brought tears to my eyes. I think that Kate is a beautiful person and so compassionate. To give her time to do something as wonderful as this. She is the best.
Way to go Kate.
I had a desire to begin my own company, nevertheless I did not earn enough of money to do it. Thank goodness my mate said to utilize the mortgage loans. Hence I used the car loan and made real my old dream.
This is right off their website btw.
Note on the NY Post Story: To clarify some facts, it is not true that Lisa may die in the next 4-6 weeks. She does need a transplant urgently and the sooner the better.
Kate Winslet has NO involvement in this situation. We apologize to her, as Lisa’s family was not the source of that information.
We are also not only looking to recruit for Lisa’s ethnicity but for all ethnicities and grow the donor banks, especially for minorities, so many more people can live!
