Donating Life

We can all use little good news these days, and how about two sisters in Chicago, and what they did for two strangers.  After a long battle with Crohn's disease and kidney failure, Mark Goralski passed away in September of 2018.  His daughter, 25 year old Bethany, was set to donate her kidney, but doctors said he wasn’t healthy enough for a transplant.  Mark died about a month later and that’s when she and her 24 year old sister Hannah decided they’d both donate their kidneys to give the gift of life to a stranger.  The sisters underwent the surgeries about a day apart last year, saying it felt amazing to potentially save a life, and all in honor of their dad.  Both girls encourage healthy young people to learn more about becoming an organ donor.  Organ donor dot gov can answer all your questions.
