Make A Difference Minute: A Kidney for Timmy

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Timmy Pickett, a husband, father of three and longtime steel foundry worker who is searching for a kidney donor. With his kidney function declining and a GFR of 14, Timmy hopes to receive a transplant before dialysis becomes necessary. He shares what’s weighing most heavily on him—the thought of leaving his family behind—and how a living donor could give him more time to fish, hunt, play with his boys and simply be there as they grow. Potential donors can visit Vanderbilt Health’s kidney transplant website and inquire about donating for James T. Pickett.
