'I could thank him for the rest of my life and it would still never be enough.' This math teacher is getting ready to donate a kidney to one of his high school students, giving more than just skills for life
"That story was pretty much our cry for help to get a donor, to get people to want to donate, to be live donors," Redd said, adding that they had been searching for a live donor for Roman for nearly two years. "Our goal was to get a live donor because a kidney from a live donor will last longer than from a deceased donor."
For the kidney donation, McCarthy and Roman would have to share the same blood type -- in this case, O positive -- and other steps had to be followed for it all to work out. Both Dan McCormick and Redd said they are immensely grateful to McCarthy for his selfless act for their son. As a parent himself, McCarthy said he has tried to put himself in McCormick and Redd's shoes and now is "just very excited" to help Roman.
