KIDNEY TRANSPLANT

I've been really moved that in a place where it's difficult to get even a friend or relative to give blood to one in need, a former student of mine, Irene, and her brother have been vying over who would be the one to donate a kidney to their father, a still relatively young man. They've both been deemed compatible and they both wanted to spare each other. It's now been agreed that the 22-yr old son will be the donor. They've worked really, really hard to make this possible. During the fundraising family members have sold their cows, taken out loans, and given up many things. The surgery will be this Sunday in India. Pray that the operations will be a success and that both father and son will have many, many happy fruitful years ahead of them.
