Lakewood Yungerman Hoping to be a Kidney Match for One, Turns Out to be Match for Another

A Lakewood Yungerman who swabbed as a potential kidney donor for a young Lakewood boy, turned out to be a match for a woman in Flatbush.

Today, he is donating his kidney to her.

The donor is Tzvi ben Gittel, and the recipient is Devorah Chava bas Fraida.
