Kara Allen has a motto she tries to live by daily: âI want to leave the world, empty with everything Iâve been able to give.â
For Alejandro Alex Alvarado of Highland, Allen did just that â giving him more than he could ever imagine: a kidney.
Although many organ donations take place after a tragedy occurs, Allen had the opportunity to be a living donor, continuing her quest to make a difference in the world while providing Alvarado with the opportunity to regain his health.
While living donor cases typically occur between friends and family members, this case was unique. The two had never met.
