It just made my whole week also!!! Can you for one second even imagine the excitement that those families felt when they received that phone call? The disbelief that someone they don't know is going to provide a much needed kidney for them? And they will all wonder about you, who started it. This doesn't only affect THEM, it affects every person who loves them, as well as employers, friends and acquaintances.  They will be telling everyone they know that there are getting a kidney, and a lot of learning and awe will be going on. BEST NEWS EVER! Thanks for your gift!
