Jumper_Dad Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Texas teacher to donate kidney to her first-grade student - UPI.com Lindsey Painter, a first-grade teacher at Hoffmann Lane Elementary School in New Braunfels, Texas, will donate one of her kidneys to her 6-year-old student, Matthew Parker. Matthew's family spent two years searching for a kidney donor when his body started rejecting a previous transplant. Doctors said Matthew had a 1 percent chance of finding a matching kidney. Painter, one of 80 applicants who submitted themselves for testing, just happened to be Matthew's perfect match. "It's hard not to feel like this is the way things were meant to be," Painter told KXAN. "Everything has fallen into place, and it's happened that way for a reason."
