A Cape Breton man who needs a kidney transplant is getting a lot of attention after he placed an online ad looking for a donor.
Ken Wilkie says a friend turned out to be a perfect match, but she could no longer donate after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
That’s when he came up with a bold idea.
“She was upset about not being able to donate,” says Wilkie. “I jokingly said ‘don’t worry about it, I’ll throw an ad on Kijiji. I’ll find a kidney somewhere.’ They say you can find anything on Kijiji.”
His Kijiji ad requesting a kidney donor quickly became an online sensation.
With the headline “Boost your Karma,” the ad described Wilkie as a 47-year-old father of two who needs a new kidney to continue work as a corrections officer.
