The Selfless Stranger and the Four Year Old Boy


Sounds like a Christmas story doesn't it? In a sense, it is the truest sort of Christmas story, the sort that Christ himself prompted.

Christopher Closeup has the story up on their podcast feed of Tisha Young, a woman who donated her kidney to a 4-year-old boy she didn’t even know, thereby saving his life – and Tami Gappa, the mother of the 4-year-old, talking about what that choice has meant to her family.

I happen to be a bit more attached to this story than most, though all their interviews are interesting (and now in iTunes! Woohoo!). A friend of mine knew of the Gappas story and it was her prayer request on Happy Catholic that brought the story to Tony Rossi's attention.
