You may call it a coincidence or a chance meeting, we call it a Divine Appointment.
Kristin Day was recently hanging out at a bar in northern Minnesota when she struck up a casual conversation with another patron at the establishment.
The man Kristin was talking to, shared that he was on dialysis because his kidneys are severely damaged. Now, people on dialysis are not suppose to have any alcohol, and it’s not clear if he was actually drinking or not. (We will give him the benefit of the doubt, though, because people DO go to bars without drinking.)
After knowing the man for only 2 hours, Kristin felt compelled to offer him one of her kidneys.
She went through the testing process, and though the guy tried to talk her out of it a couple times, but Kristin was determined. She felt like this was possibly the whole reason they met.
Turns out, Kristin was a match, and able to donate her kidney to the stranger she met at the bar. The surgery happened about 6 months later, with Kristen spending about 4 days in the hospital.
Both Kristin and her kidney recipient are doing well, and she says she’s definitely happy she went through with it.
