SeriousAboutLife.org is a campaign dedicated to helping Cleveland C. Delaney find a living kidney donor. It shares his story, explains the process, and makes it easy for people to help by donating or spreading the message.

Cleveland is a beloved community member fighting kidney failure. He urgently needs a transplant. Our mission is to find him a matching donor quickly.

A direct match is ideal (B Neagtve or O Negative) , but all blood types can participate through paired donation and help move Cleveland closer to a transplant.

If you’re not a direct match, you can still donate. Your kidney may match another patient. Their paired donor may match Cleveland. Together, this creates a donation chain that saves more than one life.

Living donation offers: • Faster transplant • Better outcomes • Shorter wait times • Longer organ lifespan • Higher overall survival It is the safest, strongest option.

Yes. Kidney donation is a well-studied medical procedure. Donors go through full medical screening to ensure safety before, during, and after surgery.

All surgeries have risks. The transplant team will discuss these with you. They will only proceed if you are medically cleared and safe.

No. Medical costs related to the donation are covered by the recipient’s insurance.

Most donors return to daily activities within 2–6 weeks. Full recovery may take a bit longer, depending on the individual.

Click the “Become a Donor” (https://nkr.donorscreen.org/register/microsite?id=3201&donationType=0)button on this website. You’ll go to the hospital’s screening form. There is no obligation — it is simply the first step to see if you qualify.

Uncertainty is completely normal. You can submit the form, receive information from the transplant team, and take time to decide.

You can still save a life by helping us spread the message: • Share Cleveland’s story • Post the graphics on social media • Share the QR code • Email or text the link to friends • Tell your church, community group, or workplace Awareness is powerful.

Your information goes directly to the hospital’s transplant team. We do not see or store your medical information.

Yes, your information is protected. The transplant center follows HIPAA rules to keep your data private and secure.

Cleveland is running out of time. A living donor offers the best chance for survival. Every donor form submitted — every share — every voice — moves this mission forward.
