STATUS:

Received! Living Donor Transplant 10/3/2024 Hines VA, Chicago

Eddie Green retired as a 1st Sergeant in the Army after 29 years of serving in many places, both here and abroad. After his enlistment in 1988, he trained to become a Combat Medic and served in Germany for three years. He then received his LPN at Fort Bragg, NC, and spent time at Fort Meade, MD before heading back to Germany for six more years. Eddie worked at Fort Sam Houston, TX, working his way to 1st Sergeant in 2011 and began training medical personnel. Eddie was Chief Ward Master at West Point before retiring in 2017 while stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. His father is a retired Chief Master Sgt with 36 years of service in the Air Force and was a wonderful role model for him.

Eddie is now the Medical Services Director at Promise Healthcare, a Federally Qualified Health Center providing affordable healthcare for the under-served. He really enjoys working with children, thoroughly loves his job, and knowing he is making a difference in his community. Eddie received the Order of Military Medical Merit, which recognizes excellence and promotes fellowship and esprit de corps among Army Medical Department personnel.

Eddie and his wife, Michelle, have been married for six years and have a blended family of two wonderful sons, one an adult, the other a 12-year-old with autism. He was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in 2011 and so far, has been able to stay off dialysis. He enjoys fishing (mostly for bass), and spending time with his family. Eddie would be grateful to receive the gift of a kidney before he needs to begin the new routine of dialysis. Will you join us in our mission to find a kidney for Eddie? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact not only on his life, but the life of his wife and 12-year-old son!

Eddie has enlisted the help of a Veteran's organization called DOVE Transplant which is helping in his outreach to find his life-saving kidney donor. DOVE will assist all prospective donors throughout the process and make sure they do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to the evaluation or surgery.
