A New Jersey teacher recently donated a kidney to help a fellow teacher and colleague.
"They sent us off in such an amazing way, starting with breakfast, to surprise blankets, to a huge clap out with pom poms and everyone clapping and cheering us on as we were leaving at the end of the day," Crupi recalled. "It was like, 'Oh my gosh, it's really happening.' … We really were sent off in the most uplifting and positive way.
Lauren Crupi said she and her family"can never possibly thank [Michael Daneman] enough" for his gift of a lifesaving kidney.Meanwhile, Daneman couldn't be more pleased to help a friend out during a time of need and described donating a kidney as the "best decision" of his life. Saint Leo the Great School had Team Daneman and Team Crupi bracelets made to support the two teachers."I feel amazing," said Crupi, who is also a mom of two. "It feels so great to be back in the swing of things, able to do it thanks to Mike. It feels awesome to be back in [a] routine, back at it with my kids."
Added Daneman, "In the process, I've learned how long people can wait on a transplant list ... and that really opened my eyes. People can wait for years on the transplant list. So, I really hope that people take this and research it and see if they can maybe help somebody."
