69-Year-old Gives Up Liver Transplant To Save Stranger’s Lif
Quote:
Doctors at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas received a liver donation while Brenda and 23-year-old Abigail Flores were both waiting for a transplant – however Abigail wouldn’t last more than a few days if she didn’t get a replacement organ fast.
So they asked the 69-year-old if she was willing to give up the transplant so Abigail could live, to which Brenda didn’t hesitate to say yes.
“In my heart, I wouldn’t have been able to live with the liver if I had let this little girl die,” Jones told WFAA. “And I still had more time … I would have been a very selfish person.”
Abigail’s father got to meet Brenda after she saved his daughter’s life and gave her a hug while crying out a heartfelt thank you.
However Brenda’s kindness paid off when another liver for the elderly woman came in a few days after she gave up the original organ.
