A Lakewood father of seven will be donating his kidney to his mother today, and says he sees this as an opportunity to be able to finally be on the giving side.
The donor, Shmuel, is a father of seven from Lakewood. He is the editor of several Seforim and a Magid Shiur of Halacha classes. With the full support of his wife, he enthusiastically underwent all the testing in order to be able to donate his kidney to his mother, Harriet.
When asked why he wants to donate his kidney, he answered, “Until now I was always on the taking side from my mother and now I have the opportunity to give back.”
Renewal, the organization facilitating the transplant, says, “Harriet, from Teaneck, NJ, is a mother of three sons and grandmother of 24 grandchildren. She is the beloved music teacher at Yeshiva of North Jersey. Her positive attitude is a great source of chizzuk for all who know her.”
