While 23 year old Stephanie Grant was on craigslist, she saw a plea for someone needing a kidney and she couldn’t help but to want to help out.
“I had a gut instinct when I saw the request for a donor on television. I had to get involved,” said Grant from Jackson Memorial Hospital. In a two-and-a-half-hour operation, doctors on Tuesday implanted the West Palm Beach woman’s kidney inside 28-year-old Selina Hodge.
Hodge, a Palm Beach Gardens resident, posted her request for the life-saving organ on Craigslist in July. She received more than 800 responses from around the world, including the one from Grant, just miles away.
Hodge is recovering and could not be reached for comment.
Do you think that you would have been able to give up a vital organ to a complete stranger like that???
