Oklahoman Donates Kidney to Save a Life

Jeff Blumenthal, of Oklahoma City, a financial advisor of 30 years, has always had the little red heart on his driver’s license to be an organ and tissue donor. He had never put much thought into being a donor, but knew it was a noble thing to do. In 2021, everything changed when he donated his kidney and became a living donor.

Jeff knew that his second cousin, Margaret, would eventually need a transplant after living life with Polycystic Kidney Disease. He never expected to be the donor himself. When Jeff saw her at a family celebration, he asked how Margaret’s health was, and she informed him that her kidneys were failing. Jeff asked her to give him a call when she was listed for a transplant.

About one year later, Jeff learned Margaret was listed for a kidney transplant.  He registered with the transplant center and began the process, which took just over a year. During the process, he became apprehensive and wondered if he should think about it more before fully committing to the procedure. When he sought guidance from his rabbi, Jeff was told, “when you have the chance to save a life, you do it.” After hearing those words, his apprehension was cleared, and he knew he was doing the right thing.

Of the 50 people who registered to be Margaret’s living donor, only two of them were suitable candidates; Jeff was one of them. The first candidate, who also lived in California, was ultimately rejected due to health concerns. Jeff officially became the one and only candidate who was able to save Margaret’s life.
