An Act of Kindness from one woman to another

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. (WWAY) — Dolores Fallon, and Portia, are co-workers at Brunswick Novant Medical Center.

The pair built a bond after meeting at another co-worker’s memorial service.

At that gathering, Fallon told Portia she suffered from kidney disease, and needed a transplant. Portia suggested she take a blood test. The results indicated they were a match, and shortly after, Portia decided to donate one of her kidneys.

Fallon had this to say about the generous decision, and her surgery as a whole.

<“She left to go into surgery, I don’t even remember going into surgery and here we are, I’m doing better than I ever had in my life, I feel great, the kidney is one-hundred percent working.”

Portia followed that quote with her own, “Donation is not a scary thing, it’s a beautiful thing, and we all should consider it if we can.”

The pair remain close friends, even receiving matching kidney pillows after the operation concluded.
