CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Judy Casella and her coworker Nicole Vaughan share a unique, unbreakable bond: Two weeks ago, Vaughan saved Casellaâs life by giving her a kidney.
âI get emotional, because every time I think about Nicole coming forward, out of nowhere, calling me - I was sitting in my office - calling me and saying she knew I needed a kidney and she wanted to be tested,â Casella said.
