A beautiful story! If anyone is feeling slightly interested in this but fear of the unknown, let me briefly say: Your life will not be shortened or compromised. If YOU the donor become sick in your life and your single kidney is not working, you are NOT at the bottom of the list. People can also request a free kit to see if they match to be a bone marrow donor. You do a cotton swab on the inside of your cheek and mail it in. Depending on the match (which can take decades if at all, they won't call you next week) you are not guaranteed to have to go under for surgery - they can pull what they need like if you're donating plasma.
With all due respect, what a foolish thing to do! God gave us 2 kidneys for a reason. As we age, our kidney function is reduced. Not only that, but a relative may need your kidney down the line and now this leaves you unable to donate. In addition, most kidney transplants fail, if not immediately they fail eventually.
Of one of the many friends and colleagues of Jen, we truly appreciate the generosity of these donors.
Truly a hero. She will be blessed!!!!!!!!!!
