Hi! My name is Ei Meeker. (He/Him)

​​I’m a Dedicated Teacher and Youth Advocate, and I Need a Kidney Donor.

Dear family, friends, colleagues, and community,

 

I hope this message finds you well, despite the challenging times many of us are having right now. You know me as a brother, uncle, son, friend, colleague, neighbor, teacher, pet-sitter, client, mentor, or fellow activist, and I truly consider each of you a vital part of my well-being.

 

I recently entered End-Stage Renal Disease, a worsening development in my polycystic kidney disease, and I've just started the daunting process of a kidney transplant.

This includes reaching out to every person I know to ask them to consider being a living donor,

or to help me find a donor.

About Me

I’m a passionate and hard-working person who tries to make a lasting impact through my actions and the opportunities I take, whether it’s personally developing into a stronger, more open-hearted person; guiding students (as a Health and English teacher over the last 20 years) to make healthier decisions; being a reliable family member, friend, and colleague; or using my voice to promote equity for vulnerable groups, especially people living with HIV, my LGBTQIA2s+ community, and immigrant youth and their families.

My pioneering transplant team at Weill Cornell/New York Presbyterian and I are is asking any potential donor (no one is automatically ruled out) to learn more about living donation and register as a potential donor.

I hope you will consider my message, and pass it along to all individuals, organizations, or networks you have connections to. I am grateful to have you in my life – and now as part of my journey for a healthier, more peaceful future. I need your help.

​

With Love, 

Ei
