Alan Brunnet (with a little help from the surgical teams in Chapel Hill, North Carolina) donated one of his kidneys to save the life of 7-year-old Nate Forbis.
Brunnet and his family live just down the road from Henry Forbis, the boy’s father, in Lumber Bridge. They attend the same church, and Brunnet’s youngest son works on the Forbis farm.
“They’ve been good friends for a long, long time,” Brunnet said. “I want that little boy to have a good life. I want him to be happy and play like I did when I was a little boy. I want him to fulfill all his dreams like I had the chance to do.”
Good on you, sir.
