KO's donation

Such an amazing story... My best friend and I stepped forward 4 years ago to become donors for a dear family of ours from our church...Sadly we were not a match and our friend lost his life to cancer.. A few months ago KO got a call that she was now a perfect match for an 8 year old boy that was dying of cancer...She was asked to step forward and donate platelets to help this boy... It took no thought at all and KO took on this very unselfish task and went to it..After many months of physicals, appointment's, injections, and a true dedication on her part she spent 7 hours sitting in an uncomfortable hospital bed with YUCK, needles in both arms for the donation process... We have not heard back if the donation was a success yet but we do know the family that we initally sought out to help at our church has a new found peace knowing that their fathers life was not taken in vain and because of his donor drive 4 years ago a life will possibly be saved....Thank you Jesus for having your hand all over this!
