Joely Sanders of Arizona found out that she couldn’t donate her kidney to her brother Frank because she wasn’t a match. So she decided to donate it anyways to someone who WAS a match in Chicago.
It takes a special spirit to donate one of your organs to help someone you don’t even know.

That man, Tony Gonzalez, found out his wife Tracey was a match for Frank! So she sent her kidney to Arizona for Frank. Now both men are off dialysis. They met and spoke for the first time over Zoom.
