A mother from Massachusetts now has a second chance at life, thanks to another mom from her neighborhood.
Nicole Baltzer, 41, donated her kidney to Kara Yimoyines, also 41, on Feb. 7 after reading her story in a local Massachusetts newspaper. Both women are now sharing their stories.
"I'm beyond words happy," Baltzer of Winchester, Massachusetts, told ABC News today. "I'm happy for her to give her this energy that she needs to be with her kids and participate in their lives more actively. It really felt like the right thing to do every step of the way."

Wow..what an amazing act of kindness and selflessness.
You can see the wear and tear that kidney failure does to the body. People think that dialysis is a decent substitute. It isn't.
Normally when you hear of organ donation from stranger to stranger the donor is dead. Here is a woman who took a leap of faith believing her sacrifice would change the life of someone she doesn't even know. Great story at a time when we need such stories.
