United Way of Hunterdon County has been supporting our
community for more than thirty years to ensure that every individual
has the opportunity to thrive. Our focus is on helping ALICE - the 23%
of our neighbors who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained and
Employed (or retired).
How we help: ALICE takes many different forms - poverty
prevention programs, advocacy and collaborative efforts across
the community. Read more about our current work in the latest Community
Impact Report on our website and see where we are headed longer term in
our Long Range Plan. We hope you will join us in our efforts because we can't
build a stronger community alone! Great things happen when we LIVE
UNITED! Find out more about UWHC at: www.UWHunterdon.org.

Chris Reardon and his family have been residents here in the
Clinton area for the past 22 years.
Chris learned six years ago that he was
in the early stages of kidney failure and
was accepted onto the Kidney Transplant
List at Cooperman Barnabas Medical
Center (in Livingston, NJ) in July 2024.
His kidney function is now at a critical
level of 13%. Finding a kidney from a
living donor is the better and healthier
option, compared to waiting, on average,
3-7 years for a kidney from a deceased
donor. Chris' immediate family members
are not medically eligible to be a living
donor, and hospitals do not help you find a
living donor. Thus it is imperative that Chris asks others to Share His Story
To Help Him Find a Living Kidney Donor with your friends, family,
organizations, co-workers, etc., and also on your social media platforms. All
medical testing and surgery are covered by Chris' health insurance
at NO COST TO YOU. To learn more about Chris and his situation, please
visit his website at: www.ChrisNeedsAKidney.net. There is a direct link
on his website for you to register as a potential living donor. Thank you for
your consideration.
Karen and Chris Reardon
