My brother donated a Kidney, GTFIH!

**KidneyBRAH** · 03-28-2011, 05:16 PM

The first time around I was ill prepared with proof and details. I have taken over my brothers account, and this is my mission.

This is a crosspost from the 4.6 talk thread. I am posting from my brother's account.

A response would be greatly appreciated even if it's just to say that you can't be of help. I have decided to write to a number of companies and I'm not sure how this is going to turn out.

My brother's story is a rough one. In August of 2009 he found out that his wife had been cheating on him. He decided to leave her, and everything in Texas, and he moved with my to Miami, FL. After living here for 2 months he started working as an Assistant to myself, and it is how he met Maritza.

Maritza is a 41 year old woman who has been suffering from Lupus since 1999. She developed End Stage Renal Disease, and needed a kidney donation. We're not sure why, but this 22 year old (at the time) kid, who had no reason to be in Miami, stepped up and decided to get checked to be a living donor. Within 2 weeks he got his initial blood tests, and was a positive match. Four months of testing, and anticipation came to a surprising discovery. This guy, who had never met this woman, was a better match both physically and genetically that her own brother. It's funny how the world works. To fast forward a bit, on March 25th of 2010 my little brother gave his kidney to save a woman's life.

Her family was so overwhelmed with gratitude, that they decided to give him a car. A 1996 Mustang GT Convertible, not just any car, but his dream car. Unfortunately, the car has brought him nothing but problems since day one. It began with a bad alignment, and is at the point of bad piston rings, transmission, rear end, suspension, etc. The kid is a car fanatic, who has immense plans for this machine. He has a grocery list of parts, but no funds to get it.

I'm not necessarily looking for a handy me out but the car has gotten to the point where he needs to either replace it, or park it and ride a bus. I hate to see him stressed out, especially around his anniversary. What I am looking to do is get the car done for him a'la Overhaulin'. The media exposure would be so exorbitant for your company, I'll make sure of it. I would've written to those shows, but unfortunately they have been canceled. So I will take it upon myself to make sure every forum, media outlet, and news station hears the story of the shops that made a hero's dream come true.

Please, if you can't help try to point me in the direction of someone who can. I've also posted this on a couple of forums, reddit.com, and written to the admins of some of the larger Mustang oriented forums.

Proof can be emailed, for serious inquiries.

Emails to lovematthew18@yahoo.com would be preferred so that he doesn't find this but he is gone for the weekend, and I changed his password.

Thank you,

Michelle M. Corrons

Attached are a few pictures of my brother, the day of the surgery and his car.

He and the recipient just 30minutes before surgery. He had just received his anethesia cocktail.

Him 2 days after surgery, in pain and scruffy!

A week and a half after surgery, everyone told him he was crazy for getting in that water. If you look in the bottom right corner you can see some of the scars from the laparascopic incisions.

The rough around the edges GT when he go the rims.

And him and I a couple of weeks ago, he seems to be doing better!

I can post FB screenshots of exchanges between them if/when they are needed. And to anyone who is serious about helping find a company, or tv station willing to do this; I can provide medical documentation.

Thank you for the kind words. He is going to love reading through all this afterwards. I'm sure his debt of gratitude to everyone's effort and support will be off the charts!

Very this isn't the only instance in which he has done something to help!

A few months back there was a donation thread for a walk for cancer on here. He donated over $400 that he had saved up towards his car. He decided it'd be a better choice to put it towards cancer research.

There you go, THIRD HIGHEST DONOR
