“Hi Friends and Family, I wanted to give you all an update on my search for a kidney donor and let you know that I FOUND A DONOR! I was informed by my coordinator that they found a match and surgery is scheduled for November. I don’t know who the donor is. I’ll keep you updated as the surgery gets closer. Thank you for all of your support with sharing my posts and donating to my Gonfundme for the billboards as well as the positive thoughts. Special thanks to Jacquelin Santiago for all of your hard work. I also want to say thank you to those who tried to go through the process and donate. You know who you are and I will always be forever grateful for your kind gesture and thoughtfulness. Lou Vic Santiago and I truly appreciate it. ”

Thank you everyone for all of the monetary donations to our GoFundMe. We were able to rent digital billboards through Lamar. They have graciously put me on 14 billboards across Milwaukee and 1 in Sheboygan for the next 4 weeks! I was also featured on new stories on Channel 12, Channel 58, and Telemundo in regards to my search for a kidney donor. We have a few inquiries on how to be a kidney donor and what the process entails but as of today no match yet.
