Joann Wellman of Frewsburg is hoping to be 18 again.
If the 67-year-old’s search is successful via a Western New York website, Wellman would be the 18th person to find a living donor on the Kidney Connection website.
She is in need of a second transplant after starting dialysis in July 2020 after her kidney function was rated at 30%. She has type O blood, which would also be the same blood type required for a potential donor.
