She offered Darreld one of her kidneys.
Miraculously, she turned out to be a perfect match, meaning it was relatively straight forward for her to make good on her offer. All she had to do was fill in the necessary paperwork.
“I was really excited about it. I was ecstatic. I don’t know what I would’ve done for closure if I wasn’t [a match],” she says.
Camden’s dad was in shock and delighted with Nancy’s extraordinary offer. She would be saving his life.
Darreld told ABC News:
“It’s just amazing. There are people waiting every day for a kidney, for an organ in general. I wish there were more people like her. She’s giving me a second chance at life,”
When the family found out that Nancy’s kidney was a match with Darreld’s, they decided to surprise her with flowers at school. Camden couldn’t be happier about the fact that his teacher is helping save his father’s life.
The world is full of good people! If everyone were as selfless as Nancy, the world would be a better place. Now let’s hope that the operation runs smoothly and that they both have a speedy recovery
