Meet Mark Schwartz. He is a father of three and grandfather to four children (ages 3 months, 6 months, 2 years and 12 years). He is recently engaged to be married to Leanne Baxter. He is a professional pilot for the air squadron in San Francisco. Mark is a great father and friend, and a total badass at everything that he does. He loves martial arts, flying planes and more, but his favorite pastime is spending time with his family. 

Ten years ago, we finally found Mark after 35 years of not knowing him. This meant that Mark was able to meet his son, his daughter-in-law and his then one-year-old granddaughter as well. It has been such a pleasure getting to know this beautiful man with a huge heart. In addition to being family, Mark has become one of our best friends, and everyone who knows him loves him dearly. 

In November 2017, Mark was diagnosed with kidney failure. After his diagnosis, doctors informed him that he had only one year to find a kidney. Unfortunately, due to various health reasons, no one in his immediate family is eligible to donate. We do not like to ask for things from people, it's not in our nature. We prefer to do things for others, and regularly donate our time and resources to give back and help others as often as possible. Right now, we are seeking someone who would be willing to save the life of a beautiful man who means so much to those who know him. He needs a kidney from an eligible donor As Soon As Possible. If you or someone you know may be interested in donating, please get in touch! You can also find out more information and apply to be a donor here. If this touches you and you are willing to, we would appreciate it if you would share this story and give someone else the opportunity to save a life. All prayers and thoughts of love are appreciated as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

All our love,
Dianne Copeland and Mike Schwartz
