Emmanuel Yorke is one of those people who brightens the days for our Donelson Branch staff at Enbright. After moving to the United States from South Africa, he worked for Nashville Electric Service for 14 years. When surprised with sudden health issues with his kidneys, Emmanuel’s health declined quickly and, a year later, he found himself unable to work. He loved his work at NES, but disability was inevitable. In need of a kidney transplant, Emmanuel has spent four years on the transplant list hoping for a donor. A living kidney donor could make a big difference in the life of someone like Emmanuel.
