CO-WORKERS.
There are usually mixed feelings about the ones we work with, but for this week’s Friday Feel Good we look beyond the next cubicle and see a bond that extends far beyond the coffee machine.
A Canadian woman who needed a new liver was gifted one from a co-worker that she only really knew as an acquaintance.
Although Karla and Scott work together the pair were “basically strangers” when Watson offered to give her a donation she’d been desperately searching for. For the last six years, Karla has been battling a rare liver disease. She’s been on the transplant list since July 2021, but says her procedure isn’t considered enough of a priority to make her eligible for a deceased donor’s organ. The Calgary woman had to ask friends and family if they’d be willing to donate. Though many of them offered to help, they were all ruled out of the process for various reasons.
She happened to mention it to her co-worker Scott one day and that led not only to an organ donation match, but to a gift beyond that…hope.
