He’s had 5 strokes and brain surgery. But his main objective? Find a kidney for his wife

Keli Thorn

Aaron Thorn has received incredible feedback from neighbors and strangers alike since he put his heart on the line and wore a NEED KIDNEY sign to find his wife, Keli Thorn, a donor. Aaron is himself recovering from brain surgery and five strokes. Together, they are raising four children ages 11 to 21.

They are fundraising with Help Hope Live to meet the $4,300 minimum they need to enable Keli to pay a major medical bill required for her to receive a transplant.

“The tears puddle every time when he recalls the kindness of strangers during the past year, easily the most difficult of his 22-year marriage to Keli.”
