#97 Hope through Donating a KIDNEY to a stranger - Rebecca Hampton's Story

#97 Rebecca Hampton knew as soon as she saw the facebook post that she had to do something to help. It was that still small voice whispering in her spirit that she should see if she was a potential kidney donor for this family in need. It seemed like a remote chance that she would actually have to donate given all the tests and conditions that she would have to pass to be eligible. Then....the tests came back and she was a match!!! Now the real test of her faith, strength and resolve began! In this episode of the Hope Radio Podcast, Shawn and Jen sit down to talk with Rebecca Hampton about organ donation. This is a fascinating discussion with Rebecca about all of the good and bad about her experience saving the life of someone else! Did you know that kidneys donated from deceased individuals are generally less viable than living donor organ donation? What do you do when your family doesn't agree with your decision to donate? What are the risks? How will you feel after surgery? It is hard to imagine a more selfless and HOPE GIVING act than living organ donation to a stranger. If you have ever felt a tug to donate or know of anyone considering organ donation, this is a must listen podcast!
