Adrian Butler and Tiffanie Stall attended Warren Central High School together, but only stayed in touch through social media post high school. That was until Butler's wife posted to social media asking for a kidney. Stall answered the call.
Not only is it a significant milestone for the hospital, but one that brings a second chance of life for an Indianapolis man.The two graduated high school more than 20 years ago, Stall's brother was good friends with Butler.As life would have it, Butler was diagnosed with a kidney disease in his 20s and by 33 needed a transplant.
"We went through close family and friends for about through October and when we didn't get a match my wife posted a message on Facebook," Butler said."It kind of just weighed on me for a couple days really heavy. It was just one of those things like I have to call," Stall said."Like if it was my brother I would do anything in the world, so I called.Butler had no idea Stall was a match.
"I cried. I felt like at that point it was answered prayers. Because I kept asking myself am I crazy to even think to do this," Stall said."I had no idea who it was going to be. I was surprised and happy and appreciative and humbled," he said."I have small kids at home so it was a lot," Butler said."For me that day was just kind of a relief because it's finally here. I have been waiting for years.
"I was happy I got to go home that day. It made me realize without a doubt that this is what I wanted to do," Stall said.There is a huge need for organs.He sees first hand there aren't enough organs for everybody who needs one."We add someone to the list every 10 seconds. It's just such a huge need and we just don't have enough organs to go around," Dr. Cantafio said.
