DETROIT - - When her nephew was born 16 years ago, a nurse at Children's Hospital said she'd do whatever it takes to help him. Now, that day has come.Read it all here.
"I'm a mother of a child who's a week younger than Anthony and I see the differences in what they've been able to experience and... I wanted him to have everything my son's had," said Jennifer Lesnek.
Jennifer gives in many ways. She's a mother, aunt, nurse at Children's Hospital and now an organ donor.
Role Model
When her nephew, Anthony, was born, one kidney didn't work at all and the other was destine to fail. He has spent many days hooked up to a dialysis machine. Jennifer decided long ago that if she were a match, she would some day help him.
That's not surprising to her husband. "I told her that... I'm proud of you and what's you're doing is a great gift," said Dan Lesnek.
"I'm really happy about it. I'm glad it's coming from my aunt," said Anthony Helfer.
