Hot dog hero donates kidney to customer

Hiscock, 46, was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes 16 years ago。

May 2019，his kidneys were found out failing。November 2019, his kidneys were deteriorating, need for dialysis and he should start looking for a kidney donor.

現代醫學發展了器官移植，讓以前毫無治療辦法的腎衰竭病人有了生機。但等待捐贈的腎臟是個漫長過程，通常來自意外死亡有遺囑捐贈器官的人。往往得等數年甚至10年，甚至終生都等不到。Hiscock 是幸運的。

Skully White, 51, the owner and operator of hot-dog stand. Hiscock was his a customer。

White heard the Hiscock ‘s story a couple of months later, he immediately informed Hiscock that if they were a blood and tissue match, he would donate his kidney.

They matched and scheduled to do the kidney transplant surgery at December 14.

White said the procedure is expected to take three or four hours for him, and seven for Hiscock.

But the post-surgery period is expected to be more difficult for White。The entire process will require White to take three and a half months off work at his busiest time of the year with no one else to keep the business running in the meantime.

To support him financially during this time, Hiscock’s wife, Cindy, has started a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $15,000. (Search “Skully of Lullys is giving my husband a kidney” at gofundme.com.)
