Thanks to the word spreading on blogs, on Twitter, on Facebook, and in many other ways, young 15-year-old Marielle will receive a new kidney. My thanks for all of you who offered to help by being tested to see if you were a match. Thank you for saving her life and for demonstrating the kind of presence we can hold for other humans.
Thanks so much for helping spread the word about my daughter’s need for a kidney! My you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving!
With friendship,
Lisa
This made my day to know that Marielle will receive a kidney. Knowing my own medical condition would not allow me to be a donor, I seriously prayed for this young girl. With all that is cra-zy making in our world, this modern day miracle gives me a glimmer of hope for our humankind. The miracle is not only the medical technology, but the generosity of someone (so many someones) who will be a donor-I chose to believe this is what we really are about. Thank you to the donor and all who chose to be involved.
