Mum's Facebook kidney plea prompts 'mind-blowing' gift from total stranger

Mum's Facebook kidney plea prompts'mind-blowing' gift from total stranger A woman who shared a desperate plea for a kidney on Facebook has undergone a lifesaving transplant after a stranger offered to be her donor. Karen Davey, 41, had exhausted every avenue before turning to social media, where she said she did not want to leave her family without a mother. Gary Summerfield saw the mum-of-four's post and, after learning he was a match, donated one of his kidneys via an operation in July. I thought this lady needs one of my kidneys more than I need two of them, said Gary. Karen's family said they would never be able to repay Gary for his generosity, adding that it had given her another chance to be a mum.
