A Levittown mother says she's been on the kidney donor list for nearly 10 years, and time is running out.

"I want to live,” Arlene Barsch told News 12. “I have six children and I want to see them graduate, get married, have grandchildren."

She recently launched her own campaign, posting flyers and handing out cards in the hope someone will help her.

“You don't realize how lucky you are when you're healthy. And you don't have to deal with this," she said.
