Chicago community activist and designer Elvie “LV” Jordan is seeking a kidney donor. She is in a medical crisis situation.
A few months ago, she and her partner Challis Gibbs were among the first same-sex couples in Illinois to receive a marriage license, due to Gibbs’ own health situation. Gibbs died a few weeks later, and soon after, Jordan became ill and now is in a desperate search for a kidney donor.
All medical costs for donor match testing and the full procedure will be fully covered by Jordan’s medical insurance.
Donors can contact Rush University Medical Center to see if they are a match. Contact coordinator Brittnay Hohoff, direct number: 312-947-4438 or email brittany_hohoff@rush.edu.
