NICE News: 7 Kidney Donations

My friend and sponsor of this week's giveaway, Brooke, sent me a link to this incredible video this morning. Seven people decided to donate their kidneys to strangers in need. I don't think "nice" even begins to describe them.

Warning: I got a bit teary at the 3:20 mark, so watch out!

Great story. That is a big problem in this country that keeps getting worse with our crummy diets.

Thank you sooo much for sharing this. What a beautiful story!! My wonderful hubby has had 2 kidney transplants from very generous living donors. These people are huge heroes to donate to those they don't even know!

I saw that today, those people are amazing.

Melissa, I love your blog and the concept. You are so cute :)

Wow, I wonder where people get the bravery and love and selflessness to do something like that. I'm just not sure I'm that big a person. They are giving away a kidney. It must cross their minds, "what if something goes wrong with the one I have left." That's just an amazing thing to do.

I agree with Jan! Selfless is such an understatement though...Thank the Lord for wonderful people like them.

Hi from Spain. Thanks for your blog, Melissa, you're doing something wonderful.
This people did something amazing, but I'd like to know what put them together and made them do this? You need a greater motivation than just thinking "it's a great idea" to donate a kidney, plus it is a group of people. Where do they come from? What moved them to do it?
