Philip is Waiting for a Kidney Transplant

Philip Bellis of Forestville, NY, is in need of a kidney donor. He has type O blood and is listed with the transplant center at ECMC. Phil is a 43-year-old father of five who adores spending time with his family.

"Phil is a hardworking family man. We’re simple people just trying to make a life for our kids,” said his wife, Kristen Bellis. “We have five kids, three older and two at home. A teenager and a four-year-old who’s just starting school this year. We have a granddaughter on the way in December.”

“Life truly is about our family and means the most to him," said Kristen.
