First responders in New Jersey are searching for a kidney donor for a colleague

SUMMIT, NJ– First responders in New Jersey are searching for a kidney transplant donor for one of their own.

Karen Stenstrom Sauers is a police officer who was diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of 24.

Then she was told that one day she would need a transplant. Now that day is here almost three decades later. None of their immediate family or relatives are eligible for a kidney transplant.

Officer Karen Sauers is one of the kindest, most positive people I know,” said Summit Police Commissioner Steven Zagorski. As colleagues and friends, we want to do everything we can to find a potential donor. Please consider learning more about it.”
