Helping a CRH team member in dire need of a kidney transplant

A CRH team member is facing a life-threatening illness and needs a kidney transplant. We are seeking your help to find a donor who can save her life.

In February 2024, Doris Tolliver, Regional Compliance Manager for the CRH Midsouth Region, was diagnosed with kidney failure. In order to survive, she must be connected to a dialysis machine for eight hours, every day.

Not only does its time-consuming nature make it difficult to live a normal life, dialysis is also not a long-term solution. With no other intervention, Doris’ health will continue to decline, and dialysis will not be enough for her to survive. She needs a kidney transplant.

In addition to being a valued member of the CRH team, Doris is a wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. There are many people who are counting on her.

Doris has type O blood, and so far, none of the friends and family members who have offered to donate a kidney for her have been a match. That’s why you’re reading this. We want to tell as many people as possible about Doris, with the hope that we can help find a kidney to save her life.

The donor does not have to be the same age, race or sex. Visit mayoclinic.org/livingdonor to learn more and to find out how you can help. If you fill out the questionnaire, please choose Florida as the location and list Doris Tolliver as the designated recipient.

Doris is approved for transplant at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and her insurance will pay for the related expenses for her donor’s operation and hospital stay.

Like recipients, donors can go on to live a full and healthy life with only one kidney. Visit AmericanTransplantFoundation.org to review statistics surrounding donation, learn more about the process and read the inspiring stories of people who have given the gift of life.

Today, there are more than 90,000 people on the kidney transplant waitlist, and the average wait time is five years. While some people on the list will receive a kidney from a deceased donor, the vast majority will not. Many deceased donors do not have viable organs, and therefor there is a shortage in organs for transplant.

Finding a living organ donor for Doris is her best option for having a second chance at life. That’s why we encourage you to share her story with as many people as possible. The more we tell her story, the better Doris’ chances are of finding the kidney that will save her life.

You can start by visiting mayoclinic.org/livingdonor. If you’d like to contact Doris directly, please email her at [email protected].

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We appreciate any help you can give as we work together to find a kidney donor for Doris.
