Betty Fabina of Johnstown -- also known as 'Peanut' -- has been battling kidney disease for over a decade.
She has been actively looking for a live kidney donor for the last year and a half.
I have a lot of family I love with all my heart, and they don't want to see me die. It's hard to go through. But I'm going to live on, because that's what god wants you to do," she told 6 News.
'Peanut' says she wants the donation to spend more time with her husband of over 40 years, four children, and total of 21 grandchildren & great-grandchildren.
She urges people to get on the donation list because -- even if they can't help her -- they could help someone else.
Suitable donors for 'Peanut' are blood type O.
