A stranger gave a kidney to a patient in need who had stage 4 renal cancer in an uncommon and unselfish act of kindness. This story is comforting to hear and gives us hope in mankind in a time when people are so busy with their life that they hardly have time to think about their loved ones. The woman's thoughtful act was captured in a recent Facebook post, for which the patient's family is thankful. The father of two from Kentucky, Chase Cooper, was placed on the kidney transplant waiting list after receiving a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis last year.

Facebook post breaks down the state

At this point, she decided to take matters into her own hands and posted a Facebook need for assistance. To their amazement, though, a complete stranger got in touch with them and offered to help her by donating a kidney. She went on to describe how Hanna Durbin, who was unknown to the Coopers, contacted them and started the matching process.
The family was horrified to learn that Durbin and Chase were no longer candidates for a kidney transplant, even though the original transplant date was scheduled for December. In January 2024, the physicians informed them that Durbin was "once again" a direct living donor for Chase Cooper, and they once again began their search for a replacement.

New hope! 

They later underwent a successful transplant procedure at the University of Kentucky. In an interview with the site, Chase Cooper expressed his sincere gratitude for Hanna's altruistic act, saying that she now feels like family. God is benevolent. I have nothing more to say than that. What a fantastic plot he created for Hanna and us. It is difficult to comprehend that my husband was saved by a complete stranger who was driven by her faith and continued to develop it. In a farewell update on Facebook, Kaila wrote, "Hanna is family to us, and we will never let another day go by." Meanwhile, a number of people have come forward to praise Hanna's efforts as the tale has gone viral.
