Today when I was thinking about what needed to be "posted", I took a moment to read a blog I am following (it is linked to this one if you wish to look at it). It's a mother's plea for her teen-age daughter's life and the mother is an e-bay friend of my daughter. This young girl, who had a liver transplant as an infant, is now in need of a kidney. No family is suitable as a donor because of the additional antibodies in her body due to the liver transplant. The mother reached out using the web to find possible donors.
This is where the story turns incredible. A potential donor has been found and it appears the transplant will occur on Dec. 26th. Through the power of the internet, donors from every state and several foreign countries sent in applications to be tested. Thanks to another willing organ donor, this time a living donor, a young girl will receive the best Christmas gift of all, a new kidney.
