My daughter is being interviewed by Frontline on Thursday

[Bombero1956]

She was contacted today by a writer for ABC news who is doing the research on organ transplant recipients and donors. After she called the producer she was told they want to interview her on Thursday for a future Frontline story. My daughter had a transplant from a cadaver 3 years ago. The kidney failed this past May and was removed in early June. She is now doing Hemodialysis at home and is back on the transplant list.

1. Will they give her an "appearance fee?" I hope she gets an organ soon! nt

3. I honestly don't know

but if she gets a kidney from the appearance they can keep the fee.

4. Darn tootin!!!

I have a good friend who was on the machine for years--finally got his kidney, and boy, oh boy, what a difference! It is a real game changer, as I'm sure she knows.

7. I never understood why kidneys were so hard to come by...

cause we all can afford to give up one to keep someone else alive.

5. donate your organs, people

there would be no need for this kind of distress if more people simply donated what they won't be using

10. update

My daughter was interviewed by the producer last Thursday. The story is for Night Line not Front Line. She will travel to NYC for another interview with Dan Harris. I can't say too much about what the story will cover other than she will at some point wear a hidden mic and camera.
