Like an angel, Heather Schaefer from Harker Heights, Texas came our of nowhere and gave him one of her healthy kidneys!

6abc in Philadelphia says Schaefer and Mcintosh's wife, Toshira Maldonado-McIntosh, belong to the same Christian Facebook group, and it was through that connection that the kidney donation came to be.
