(PATCH) – "Does anyone in Connecticut want to save a life?" John Rubino, a Stamford native and Marine Corps veteran, was scrolling through his Facebook feed in February 2019 and saw that status update from an acquaintance of his, Robyn-Anne Blosio. Blosio's friend, Jessica Rabasco, also a Stamford native, was in declining health.
Rabasco was experiencing headaches in 2018 and went to the doctor. After some tests, she was told both of her kidneys were functioning at 5 percent capacity. She was admitted to the hospital and began nine months of dialysis.
Rabasco needed a kidney transplant to save her life. Rubino jumped at the opportunity, which set him on a journey towards helping others and giving the gift of life.
