A Plainfield woman who was in search of a kidney donor for over a year has received a life-saving donation after looking at baseball games in Chicago.
“If we want to live in a better world, we have to set an example. That is the type of world I want to live in. I would hope someone would do it for me, my kids or my wife"
The cysts can then damage the kidneys, causing the organs to enlarge and lose their ability to filter waste from the blood.Todd needed to find a living donor, and attended a White Sox game earlier this year with the same mission as last year's trip to Wrigley Field.The message was seen by the mother of Chris Beck, a high school biology teacher who lives outside Richmond, Virginia.
Beck previously donated part of his liver to a young girl, and corresponded with Todd after being notified of her search by his mother. "Through the help of my husband, pushing and pushing, it worked. I'm very grateful for that," Todd said.
