Steve Hartington saved Billy Konrad's life by giving him a kidney.
The
two men met at Vets Helping Vets Anderson -- a nonprofit that helps
bring veterans together and connect them with resources. Last year
Billy found out he'd be going into hospice care if doctors couldn't find
a match soon. When Steve found out, he secretly underwent testing to see if he could be a donor. When the tests came back positive, he surprised Billy with a second chance at life.Now the two men say they are "brothers from another mother."
"He
wanted to give somebody a chance, no matter what it was. so he prayed
on it a lot and then he decided okay I'm going to give this guy a
kidney," Konrad said. "That's an unbelievable decision."
Steve
says his service dog Barrett is a big part of why he donated. Barrett
helped Steve reclaim his life so he said he wanted to do the same for
someone else. --> READ MORE
