Woman Donates Kidney to Her Groom’s Ex-Wife 2 Days After Wedding

After a woman donated a kidney to her husband’s ex-wife, the pair now lovingly call themselves the “kidney sisters.” Last year, Debby Neal-Strickland was about to marry Jim Merthe when they discovered that his ex-wife Mylaen was in dire need of a kidney transplant. Their son Jim wasn’t a match to be a donor, and though their daughter Samantha was, she was pregnant at the time. Jim and Mylaen had divorced nearly two decades earlier, but Debby knew what she had to do, and said she didn’t hesitate.
