Anonymous kidney donor is anything but

We live in a what’s-in-it-for-me-kind-of-world, but hearing a story about a woman who donated her kidney to a stranger would leave even the most jaded cynic feeling inspired.

Earlier this year, 59-year-old Sarah Konsker parted with one of her kidneys to save the life of an anonymous Torontonian who suffered from kidney failure.

At least he started out as an anonymous recipient. Apparently, it isn’t easy keeping a secret in Thornhill’s tight-knit Jewish community.
