DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A DeKalb County police officer is in a race against time. Officer Anjelica Cutwright suffers from a rare kidney disease and needs an organ donation.

Three days each week for the last two years, Cutwright has had to go in for dialysis.

"Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.," she said.

Cutwright is a five-year veteran.

"I know I have a job to do, so my focus is on protecting and serving the citizens of DeKalb County," she explained.

Cutwright, only 27-years-old, lives with nephrotic syndrome, a rare kidney disease. She was diagnosed when she was just 17.

"They told me that it was hereditary," Cutwright said.

Her condition leaves her drained.

"I have days where I'm very swollen because my kidneys leak protein," Cutwright said.

She received a kidney transplant in 2021.

"I was energized, I was happy," she said. "And then, I caught Covid. Covid rejected it, and my body rejected it ... Right now, I'm on the list, the donor list. I would just be on dialysis until I get one."

Her life hangs in the balance as she waits. When asked if her condition is life-threatening, Cutwright said, "It can be."

Cutwright works out, takes her medication, gets treatment, then heads to work.

"I come here every day and try to give at least 110 [percent]," she said.

Now, one of the first people you'd call when your life is on the line is putting out a call for your help.

"I would like someone to donate just so I can get back to living. I won't have to do dialysis anymore," Cutwright said.

Cutwright still shows up every day to do her job. She says her 10-year-old daughter keeps her going.
