ATLANTA (WHDH) — A Georgia teacher is taking to the streets to find a kidney donor.
Sam Worley has been on the wait list for a new kidney for six years, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.
He created a sign that reads: “I’m a teacher and I need a kidney,” which he holds on the street to attract drivers.
“I’m not taking money but I have a card for the Piedmont donation number,” he tells drivers in hopes of finding a donor that will give him a chance to live longer.
Worley goes out a few times a week with the sign to share his story as he looks for a perfect match.
“In 5 more years, I might be too sick to do this to get a kidney,” he said. “The wait time keeps increasing. Right now, they tell me 10 years but when the 10 years is up they could be telling me 15 to 20. I don’t have that time.”
