Her name is Suzanne, and she is O-, and I am type A. I gave her some information and the number of the transplant clinic and the name of the coordinator. We will see what happens but just the fact that she even offered is amazing!

Heroes can pop up in the strangest of places Karen. You're right to keep your emotions in check and focus on the generosity of the offer ...I'll keep things crossed that this might be it but no matter what happens, I send Suzanne a huge virtual hug for her empathy as a human being. Inner beauty really is the best kind.
