Woman Donates Kidney to Stranger
|
Detroit, Michigan - Suzanne Fales, 55, of Howell, Michigan holds hands during a news conference with Grace Drake, 43, of Southfield, Michigan. Fales (right), is the first person in Michigan to donate one of her kidneys anonymously to a stranger. On December 4, in simultaneous operations, one of her kidneys was removed and donated to Grace Drake, 43 (left), a registered nurse who had been on dialysis for a year and a half. Neither woman had met, or even knew who the other was, until brought together December 19 by doctors at St. John Hospital in Detroit, where the surgeries were performed.
