Stacy.
I am so sorry to hear what Zach has been through and this video touched my heart. I cried so hard when I watched this video. I am very familiar with the plasmaphereis procedures, being that I worked at a plasma center here in KY. I send my thoughts and prays to you and I hope that Zach is doing okay. I came upon this website by total accident and I feel that I have been sent here for a reason. I want to know more about the donation of a kidney. I am also A+ and this story has touched my heart please feel free to contact me with information on the kidney donation process and what has to match. All the specs. My email addy is lmm5472@gmail.com
GOD BLESS YOU AND ZACH AND UR FAMILY
I will keep you in my prayers!

Zachary will find his miracle……I know he will!! I’m kinda disappointed I’m not the same blood type…..I would do it in a heartbeat!! All our love and prayers to you guys and I will keep spreading the word to try and help you find a donor for Zachary.

Stacey,
I don’t know you or your family I stubbled upon your website by accident..but things happen for a reason…I’m not sure why but I do know your little boys story has touched my heart and I want you to know I will keep him and your family in my prayers…my heart goes out to you. I showed my family the video and we are all touched. Zachary is a brave little boy and as we all know God has a reason for everything even though at times we wonder why? Keep strong and keep fighting for your beautiful son.

Hi i’m really am sorry about your son and your video was sad but it shows your son’s strength and I can’t really do much but I will spread the word and do the best I can. To tell you the truth i stumbled upon this website by total accident but im glad I did because when I saw the video I felt like I should do something and I will, I will tell my friends to tell their parents and all that and you guys will find a doner trust me, Zachary is so strong and so brave and I mean he’s strongther then me thats for sure and you guys just gotta pull through and remeber theres always a light at the end of every tunnel.

This was really random that I even came upon this website…

I didn’t really read everything, just enough to know that a beautiful little boy is in need of some help.

As soon as I read his blood type, I went to my wallet to check mine. We have the same. I don’t know how donating a kidney works, but I could get tested to see if I’m able to.

I kind of feel like I was meant to come upon this website… I would love to help if I can.

Could you e-mail me for more information?

I love reading how people have stumbled upon this website……I truly believe it is a sign that there is a donor out there waiting for Zachary!! Miracles do happen…..our sons wouldn’t be here today if they didn’t!! Stay strong and keep the faith!!!

Stacey,
I am so sorry I have not been to the website in awhile and I had no idea Zachary was having such a hard time with his kidney. I started crying as soon as I read your post about the Drs. giving up on this kidney. Zachary and Luke’s stories are so similar and it makes me wonder if that is where we are headed. The highest blood pressure we have gotten on Luke lately is 143/102. But, most of them are staying around 120/90. His is on Minoxidil, Lisinopril, Amlopdipine, Losartan, and Diuril. Then he has Isradipine ordered for systolic’s over 120. He has clinic on Thursday and needs another kidney biopsy soon. I will be praying for Zachary, you and the rest of the family daily. I am so heartbroken by this turn of events. But, Zachary is tough and God will help him get through this. I was wondering if he has to go back on dialysis, is peritoneal dialysis an option? Then you don’t have to mess with the blood products. Please email me if you want to talk.

I don’t know what to say, I have a partially disabled daughter who had it very hard growing up, but now she is fine, your son is a hero, your whole family are unsung hero’s

This video has helped me to understand and count my blessings, I will do what I can to help, if my kidneys matched you could have one of mine

I am a 42 yr old British man, living in Moscow, Russia, I work in construction, this video made me cry

Good luck

Len

I am so very sorry for what your family is going through. I lost my 17 yr old son who was an organ an tissue donor and has helped several people through his gift. I would love to help your son my blood type is 1+ also. my email address is bonnie62@atlanticbb.net. when you start testing potential donors I would love to be included. thank you and God bless

You have such a strong little boy. Best of luck finding a donor.

I don’t know what to say, how do you describe what you feel after seeing all that Zachary has been through? I just can’t put words to it.

You have the hero right there! I don’t think I’m half as tough as that little guy.

It was purely by accident that I found this site, but I’m glad I did. You guys will be in my prayers, and if there is anything I can do, you just get in touch with me.

I don’t even know you, but I would gladly give him a kidney, I pray that they can save the one he has and spare him another surgery like that. But if I were a match I’d do it.

Keep your spirits up, God hasn’t brought you this far to let you down, pray and trust in him, and believe it. Miracles can happen.

So many have stumbled across this website, as I did this morning. I can relate to Zachary’s journey, as I too have had a kidney transplant and plasmapheresis. In 1996, a rare auto immune disease, Wegener’s Granulomotosis, attacked my kidneys. After 13 years of treatment (pheresis) during flare-ups, and ultimately dialysis, my big brother gave me one of his kidneys. I will pray for Zachary as well as his family that a kidney is found soon for him. I am sitting here typing this, knowing I received a miracle, and pray he will too. God bless you all, have faith, comfort and peace in this very difficult time.

Jade,
I was on peritonial for 1 1/2 years, and I agree with you. If Zachary can do that, it would be a better way to go.

Stacey,

When Wade called last night to tell us about this website mixup i didn’t truly understand the scope of it till I logged on this morning. This is God’s work. We have been praying for this. I am so moved by all the strangers that want to be tested. We so missed you at the Kidney Walk, did you here? They raised $175,000. The last picture on your video touches my heart. You can see a little smile on Zach’s face as Wade kisses him. I see he is holding the pig we gave him too. Give Zach a great big hug for me and tell him I love him!!! Sorry about your brothers dog, how sad. Love Always– Karen

My prayers are with you and your family! I don’t know your family but please give your son a hug from me – I am praying each day that the miracle he so deserves comes true.

Stacey and family,

I have to admit I have not watched the video yet as I am already crying thinking of the stress and emotional toll you guys are under. I will watch it later – maybe when my tears have dried up!

Zachary’s story is so touching – it really has touched our hearts in so many ways!

Thank you for being so honest and positive re: Zachary. I know I have appreciated your openness. I check out his website everyday – thank you for your honest updates.

Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!

Hi Stacy
I was searching for another Zachary and and clicked yours. I’m glad I did. Nothing weighs heavier on my heart than to see a situation like this. I am a born again believer for 30 years now and it has been a every day relationship for me. I do pray every morning, noon and evening.
I believe that Jesus is our healer and with that I also believe in God’s sovereignty. He has all authority and he was the one who shaped and formed Zachary in you.

Ours is to bring the request for that healing much like a number of examples given us in Scripture. One I always think of is the father that went to Jesus to heal his daughter. He said “if you can please heal my daughter.” And Jesus looked him square in the eye and said “*If* I can? Do you *believe* I can?” and the man responded “Yes I believe but help my *un-belief*.”

I have seen miracles. My own twin sister has had cancer attacks in her body over the last 20 years and most recently went through 2 years of chemo, a double mastectomy and follow up. Once again a miracle. And even though there were those that did not receive the healing I prayed for it did not mean that God was not God or he didn’t care. I know that person had in fact received the *ultimate healing*. They are home with the LORD. My father and 2 brothers went that way over these last 10 years.

Through it all it has strengthened my faith and I will never stop praying. Never. My heart and my prayers are with you and Zachary and Gods soverignty will reign. The peace of Christ be upon you and your household.
Amen

Hey Stacey Me and Rikkell cried watching your video. We have been friends for so long and I want you to know that I am here for you and will help you out in any way I can. If you need anything let me know. If you need company down there let me know too I would be happy to stop by and see you. I think I am B+ blood type but if for some reason that will work for Zach let me know I would love to help him and your family out any way I can. Call me and stay strong my family is praying for you and your family. You are one strong mom and a very wonderful mom.

Hello, I visited your page yesterday for the first time and I was wondering if there is an address I would be able to send things to for Zachary, I can only imagine how much your hospital bills are, so you probably don’t get to spend an unlimited amount on toys and clothes and the holidays are coming up and your family needs a very special one considering all you already have on your plate.

God bless,

Amanda, Jeremy King

Dear Elsenpeter family,
We are Ashton Nichols Grandparents. We heard about Zach’s condition at the Kidney Walk on October 10th. We know how your heart aches for Zach. He is an amazing child. We will be checking in to see how things are progressing with the search for Zach’s new kidney. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with Zack and your family. May God’s love carry all of you during this difficult time. We believe there is another miracle waiting for Zach.

What an amazingly brave little boy you have – you all seem to have a great attitude- don’t ever give up. There will be someone who will be a match. I started haemodialysis about 10 weeks ago and have been on the transplant list for a year. I am a lot older than your wee boy (44yrs young!) but I have a very positive attitude and believe that one day I will have a match too. Best regards. Annamarie xx
