That’s amazing! My aunt donated her kidney to her brother (my uncle) and saved his life. I can attest firsthand she has lived the past 40 years of her single kidney life happily and normally! The bonus is that she gave my uncle decades of life too! I have been seriously thinking about signing up to donate too, and this might be the push I need to get started.

Can someone explain to me how a transplant chain works? I swear I read that synopsis 5 times and still don’t get it.

This is a beautiful act of kindness we don’t see everyday💜

That is an amazing, and very selfless act. My husband is a kidney transplant recipient, and it was life-changing for him (and our family).

The SpongeBob shirt is the cherry on top of this sweet story.

That’s a really nice story — also unrelated, but shout out Northwestern, that’s where I had my babies lol! I didn’t realize he was a Chicago native.

This was the plot of a Grey’s Anatomy episode! Except it was Grey’s Anatomy so everything fell apart when it turned out one donor was paying his estranged son to donate, and another person had his mistress donating while his wife, totally in the dark, acts as his caretaker. Classic Grey’s lol, takes a real world scenario and makes it insane.

This is genuinely a wonderful thing to do. Speaking of which who here remembers “Bad Art Friend”? That discourse had me in a chokehold for weeks.

As someone who’s life was saved by a kidney transplant, I always love seeing stories like this. Incredibly moving. I wouldn’t be here without it.

That’s so amazing! I am bipolar II and because I take lots of meds I can’t even donate blood, and I am A- which is very scarce here in Colombia.
When I was growing up, I always dreamed about donating a kidney, liver or bone marrow, especially because of my “rare” blood type. I wish I did it before my 20s when all the bipolar symtoms came out, but I was not mature enough.
This kid is a hero!

I donated a kidney to my ex husband while we were still together. Found out a few years later he was cheating on me. 😔

This is incredible!! They’re all heroes :3
I recently had seen the metrics that globally between 60-80% of living organ donors are women and 60-80% of organ donor recipients are men.
I hope this inspires some more men to maybe even out those statistics some!!

My stepmother got a liver transplant, then she started drinking again. I’m not saying transplants are a bad thing, it’s such a beautiful thing that we are able to do for people, I just happen to have seen kind of a depressing outcome for one.
