[color=#333333]Larry Swilling is truly devoted to his
wife, Jimmie Sue, they have been
married for 57 years he is looking for
a kidney to give his 76-year-old wife,
the life-saving organ she needs. Larry
Swilling and his wife Jimmie Sue have
been happily married 57 years. So
happily, in fact, that Larry has now
come to realize the downside of
loving someone so much you can’t
live without them. Jimmie Sue needs
a kidney donor and no one in the
family is a suitable match, so Larry
has taken to the streets to try to find
one.
“She’s my heart,” he said. Heart has
never been an issue for these two.
What’s always been lacking is a
kidney. Jimmie Sue was born with
only one, and now that one is shot.
She needs a transplant but neither
her husband, nor anyone tested in
her family, is a suitable match.
Jimmie Sue is on a donor list, but the
wait is about two or three years long
and that’s for a kidney from a
deceased
donor. Transplant patients who get
their kidneys from living donors tend
to live longer. Which is why Larry
decided to try a completely radical
approach to
securing a kidney: asking for it, from
total strangers. “I don’t care what
people think,” Larry said. He tells his
wife, “I’m going to get you a kidney.”
Never mind that most people won’t
give panhandlers their pocket
change, let alone their vital organs. A
few months ago, Larry, at 77, has
been walking all over his hometown
of
Anderson, S.C. and the surrounding
towns basically begging for a kidney.
And on out on the street, wearing a
signboard — “Need kidney 4 wife” —
he’s not shy in asking passersby: “I
sure could use your kidney.” [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1017165_457327761030831_2078597402_n.jpg[/img][/color]
