Karen works as a self employed beautician and will soon be donating a Kidney to her husband.

 

In 2011, Karen's husband of 39 years, Joseph Pietroski, Jr. (Joey), was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease.  He was placed on the transplant list in 2012 when he became Stage 5, but after a few prospective donation calls in December 2014/January 2015, the lines went silent  with no more calls.  After watching Joey struggle for 4+ years with continually decreasing kidney function, having to go on dialysis, and going to a multitude of doctor's appointments, Karen decided in December 2015 to get tested to see if she could even be a match for Joey  after discussing with the kidney surgeons. 

 

The results came back, and she was a perfect match!  After the results came back that she was a match, there was no stopping her from proceeding with the decision to donate her kidney to him.  While there are a lot of risks associated with donating, they are all worth it for her to see her husband relieved of his suffering and able to enjoy life again!
