Ray is Hoping for Kidney from a Living Donor

Update / Video: Sweet Buffalo and WIVB-TV hosted Ray's family on April 14 to talk about their story and Ray's need for a kidney transplant.

Raymond Marcolini of Niagara Falls, NY, is in need of a kidney donor. Ray is a loving husband, a caring father and a wonderful papa to his three grandchildren. He has type O blood and is working with the transplant team at ECMC.

Ray had received a kidney in 2019, but unfortunately that transplant failed after 3 1/2 years. He is searching for another kidney donor to provide him with longevity and a better quality of life, without the need for dialysis three times a week.

“On behalf of Ray and our family, we would be forever grateful for your generosity,” his family wrote.

For information about the ECMC Living Donor program, please call 716-898-6283.
