Preschool Teacher Offered To Donate Her Organ To A Student But Her Kids Had Something To Say About It

Several Months Later

It took a few months for Beth to be able to give the Dean the good news. She was only able to tell the joyful news in the month of September. It would again take a few months to see if everything would work out without any complication. So by the time 22 February came, she was able to have the kidney transplant operations, giving a chance for Lyla’s condition to improve.

Two Doctors

It was such a stressful time for the family as we all know how risky these major operations get. They took faith in Dr. Robert Redfield who was able to successfully remove the kidney. He then passed on the baton to Dr. Luis Fernandez who was in charge of the kidney transplant. The two doctors had confirmed that the patients were feeling well, that there were no complications as such.

Beth’s Story

Lyla and her parents had been searching far and wide for someone who was willing to offer their kidney for her. It had indeed been a frustrating year because like we said, they had to wait all summer long to locate a potential donor. So in case you are scratching your head about how the doctor found out about her future student, well, it was actually through the good old Facebook post.

Via Facebook

So as Beth was scrolling through her Facebook newsfeed, she came upon a post that was actually the plea for a donor made by Lyla and her parents. When she saw this, she immediately made a call to the UW Health Transplant Program. This was where she decided to initiate the donor evaluation to see if she could possibly be of help for the poor girl. Beth really is a commendable human being.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show

And soon, the inspiring story of Beth reached someone who made it even more widespread. Her motivational story had been received by Ellen. And you know when Ellen takes notice of these things, she always has a plan of her own. She was called to make an appearance on the show’s set with Dena. There, the two women were able to give an insight into the whole story also speaking up about how more living donors are needed.

Important Points

On the Ellen show, the two women were able to raise awareness about how kidney donors are on high demand. They made a point about how people like Lyla depend on matching donors who can help save lives and give people a chance to enjoy a longer lifespan. Then Beth also revealed that she had registered to donate more. She was actually practicing what she was preaching.
