Flagstaff Man Receives Life Saving Kidney
His wife was on a mission to find him a kidney donor, making her the true hero in this story. Stephanie Beck and her husband Steve, who had been battling polycystic kidney disease for the last 20 years and was in the end stage of renal failure.
Stephanie shared hundreds of flyers about her husband’s need for a transplant. Passing them all around Flagstaff and surrounding areas.
Their miracle was finally answered when a generous woman (the other true hero in this story) contacted them through Facebook and ended up being a match.
“Our whole family… we’re just so excited and so happy and so thankful and grateful to her… doing something selfless for somebody she didn’t even know,” says Stephanie Beck, Steve’s wife.
The courageous couple says they will always be advocates for organ donation, encouraging anyone willing and able to get tested because you might just save a life. The gift of life is life’s greatest gift after all.
We should all keep Steve in our thoughts & prayers. He has a long recovery ahead but is looking forward to spending many more years with his wife, kids and grandkids.
Congratulations Steve and Steph!!!!!
