'You gave me a second chance in life,' kidney recipient Juan Hernandez said to his donor Dominique Overturf as both Santa Rosa residents met for the first time. Watch the moment here:
"That kidney got other pairs who had other incompatible donors transplanted and at the end of that chain is an extra kidney and we were able to donate that extra kidney to someone on our waiting list and that was Juan," said Dr. Steve Katznelson who is a transplant nephrologist at Sutter Health.
"You are his angel! Believe me. I don't know how to say thank you so much. You do so much for my kid," said Hernandez's mom Lilia Garcia. Dominique and Juan's first-ever meeting comes as Sutter Health launches an all-new living donor institute during National Donate Life Month."I'm at a loss of words you know," said Hernandez."I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart," said Hernandez."No, no, no. Nothing is owed," said Overturf.
"Like I said God is going to bless you with a lot of blessings for having a big heart like that. Thank you," said Hernandez.
