After three years of agonizing waiting, Stouffville woman Lucy Latino is finally getting a kidney transplant thanks to a woman she had never met before Friday.
A woman has taken to social media in the hopes of saving her mother’s life.
Dannielle Rodrigues is looking for a live kidney donor for her mother, 63-year-olod Lucy Latino who has needed a new kidney for 13 years but has recently taken a downturn in her health.
Latino went into kidney failure in April.
For a transplant the donor would need to be type O blood that is positive or negative and no one in her family is a match.
Organ donations must match the same blood time and those waiting for an organ from a deceased individual can be on the wait list for years.
