Miss Kandi Marino stopped by the Mountaineer. She wanted to give an update "to my people." Kandi is currently on the organ wait list for a kidney. She said, "Isn't that sad. I had insurance, but I had to wait till I had money (before they would put her on a list." Each month Kandi gives blood to see where she is and how it affects her match for a kidney.
Her kidney four years ago was at 8 %, and four years later, it is currently functioning at 12%. Kandi's kidneys would be further damaged by dialysis, therefore not an option.
She wants everyone to know she is trying very hard to stay healthy....
