Roy McIntosh is lucky to be alive thanks to a complete stranger from Texas donating her kidney after seeing a Facebook post.
MAYS LANDING, N.J. --
That stranger was Heather Schaefer from Harker Heights, Texas. She and McIntosh's wife, Toshira Maldonado-McIntosh, happened to be members of the same Christian Facebook group. Schaefer thought that she might be one of many people to reach out. Meanwhile, Maldonado-McIntosh was so shocked that she almost didn't believe her. Nevertheless, they connected and ran several tests before committing to the donation.Schaefer, a U.S. Army wife, already had enough on her plate with a family full of children. But she thought this was her own call of duty.
After about six months, a surgery was scheduled. In June 2022, Schaefer had her kidney removed in Texas. It was then securely transferred to New Jersey, where McIntosh awaited his new lease on life.
