When the blood tests confirmed a match, I felt, in a way, that I had won the lotto.  Yes, I was on the donor end, but here I was presented with an opportunity that, unfortunately at present time, defied the odds.  I’m not a religious man, but I do recognize the miraculous aligning of both circumstances and biological makeup when two people are successfully matched.

There was some soreness for a couple of days, but besides that, I had no problems. What was practically just a minor inconvenience to a day in my life made it possible for a young boy to live.
