What is also amazing is that Kelsey’s husband had just donated his kidney to a total stranger earlier in the year.
“It’s quite unique,” said Christine Opp, the living donor nurse coordinator at Presbyterian St. Luke’s. She said there is a significant need for living donors.
“There are over 120,000 people waiting on the national transplant list, and over 100,000 of those are people waiting for kidneys,” Opp said.
