American teacher donates kidney to schoolgirl

News24xx.com - In the American city Reynoldsburg, Ohio, the teacher donated her kidney to a sick schoolgirl. This is reported by the "Associated Press".

Since 2017, 10-year-old Eva Evans suffered from kidney failure. Doctors suggest that the disease resulted in a "spontaneous genetic mutation." The girl needed a kidney transplant and survived only due to the dialysis machine to which she was connected every day for 10 hours.
But none of the relatives of Eva could donate the kidney due to incompatibility of organs, and then the family tried to find a donor through Facebook.

Help came from 48-year-old teacher Tanya Thomas (Tanya Thomas), who worked in the same school where the girl studied. "I did not doubt at all", - she noted. - There was a feeling that the door opened before me and I should go through it."

A multi-month examination confirmed that her kidney is suitable for a transplant to Eva. The operation should take place in the second half of the summer.

In 2013 it was reported that a woman who donated one of her kidneys to a barely familiar person married him after three years later. She took such a step, because her father needed a bone marrow donor, but he did not find it.
