Show Notes

Eddie and Kathy Cheyfitz had settled into a nice pace in life until a minor dental procedure lead to the discovery that he was in kidney failure.

Eddie was preparing to begin dialysis, but his wife Kathy felt sure they would find a living donor before he got to that point. So it was a moment of relief when a long-time family friend, Karen, said she wanted to be tested and proved to be a good match. And then COVID hit.
