Woman In Need Of Transplant Finds Donor In Target Parking Lot
By Rosemary Ford
People find so many neces- sary things at Target, but 66-year-old Gail Weisberg’s discovery may top the list: a new kidney.
Weisberg, of Hudson, des- perately needed a new organ, according to WBZ.
After waiting more than two years on the transplant list, with the help of a friend, Weisberg started her own search through a sign on her car, according to the TV station.
It read: “Wanna be an angel for an angel? [Best friend] needs a kidney.”
Debbie Munley of Marlborough saw the sign, while Weisberg waited in the store’s parking lot for her curbside
pickup, according to
Fox 25.
So she knocked on Weisberg’s car window, and offered her a kidney, she told Fox 25.
The station noted that Munley got tested and dis- covered that she was a match for Weisberg. The two will undergo surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital on Feb. 15, according to Fox.
Weisberg told the TV sta- tion she can’t express her gratitude for Munley, who is saving her life.
“Certainly, we’ll be in each other’s lives for our whole life. And I’ll have a part of her with me,” she told Fox 25.
Supporters set up
a GoFundMe for Weisberg, to cover her medical expenses.
