"It is only through courage, persistence, hope and love that we can start saving lives together." --The Flood Sisters

Three Sisters and a Miracle

You might've used Craigslist to sell that old bike, or to look for another job or housing opportunity. But how about using it to save your dad's life? That's just what three sisters from New York did. After Jennifer Flood's dad was diagnosed with kidney disease, she and her sisters posted an ad on Craigslist... for a living donor. One year, four months, and one hundred responses later, a woman from California donated her kidney. Today, both are alive and well. So well, in fact, that the Flood sisters have started their own nonprofit to help other patients find kidney donor matches!
