On The Dial | A Personal Appeal From Publisher Steven D. Mills
For more than three decades, Steven Mills has spent his life behind a microphone, connecting with audiences, telling stories, and helping other people find their voices. Today, the longtime broadcaster, Kansas pastor, and publisher of On The Dial is facing the greatest challenge of his life, and he’s asking the radio industry, his friends, and anyone willing to listen for something that could mean the difference between life and death.
He needs a kidney. And he needs the world to help him find it.
Mills is a two-time cancer survivor whose previous treatments ultimately contributed to end-stage kidney disease. He now depends on daily peritoneal dialysis while searching for a living kidney donor.
But his situation is unusually complicated.
Because of his medical history, including a bone marrow transplant and blood transfusions, Mills is extremely highly sensitized, making it exceptionally difficult to find a compatible kidney.
In other words, finding a willing donor is only part of the challenge. Finding someone medically compatible is another.
And time matters.
A 24 Second Video With One Life Saving Mission
In a new 24-second video, Mills delivers a direct appeal for help finding a kidney, securing financial support for his ongoing medical needs, and spreading his message to as many people as possible.
The message is simple.
One donor. One life. One more tomorrow.
His campaign, https://FindMyOne.org, provides information about living kidney donation and ways to support his medical and living expenses.
Mills isn’t asking everyone to donate a kidney.
He’s asking everyone to help him reach the person who might be able to.
That distinction matters.
A radio station can share his video. A morning show can mention his story. A broadcaster can make a phone call. A listener can send the link to someone they’ve never met.
And somewhere along that chain of connections could be a compatible donor.
An Appeal To The Industry That Gave Him His Voice
Radio has always been capable of extraordinary things when its people come together. We’ve raised money for families, responded to disasters, supported communities, and helped strangers through some of the darkest moments of their lives.
Now one of our own needs that same spirit.
To every station owner, group executive, program director, air personality, podcaster, journalist, and content creator reading this:
Please share the video. Put the story on the air. Post the link. Help Steven reach someone your audience knows but his audience hasn’t reached.
And to anyone considering living kidney donation, visit the campaign website to learn about the screening process through the transplant program.
Financial contributions can also help sustain Mills while he continues dialysis and his donor search.
But above all, this campaign needs reach.
Because the next person who sees the video could be the person who changes everything.
Mills has spent much of his professional life believing in the power of one voice to reach thousands.
Now he’s counting on thousands of voices to help him find one person.
Millions have seen his story. He’s still looking for one.
Watch the accompanying video, share it wherever you can, and visit FindMyOne.org.
One share could save a life.
And this time, that life belongs to one of our own.
On The Dial is asking the entire broadcasting community to stand with its publisher, Steven D. Mills, in his search for a compatible living kidney donor. Thank you to everyone who has shared his story, offered encouragement, or helped support his medical needs. The search continues, and every new audience matters.
