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.

现代医学发展了器官移植，让以前毫无治疗办法的肾衰竭病人有了生机。但等待捐赠的肾脏是个漫长过程，通常来自意外死亡有遗嘱捐赠器官的人。往往得等数年甚至10年，甚至终生都等不到。Hiscock 是幸运的。

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.)
