Maureen Harris
Maureen Harris, a 70-year-old woman, selflessly donated her kidney to save the life of a complete stranger. Harris, who had never met the recipient, underwent the surgery at the Penn Transplant Institute in Philadelphia. She decided to donate her kidney after learning about the need for organ donors on the news. The recipient, who wished to remain anonymous, had been on the transplant waiting list for years and was grateful for the selfless act. Harris encourages others to consider organ donation, regardless of age or gender, as it has the power to save lives. Her generosity and kindness have inspired many and set an example of how a single act of kindness can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
