Woman in Texas gives away her place on the organ transplant list when she gets a liver, but finds someone who needs the liver more.

She Waited A Year For A New Liver. When She Finally Got The Call, She Gave It To A Stranger

Quote:
Jones' organ was a perfect match to Flores, but the doctors needed her to agree to stay on the wait list a little bit longer.

"In my heart, I wouldn't have been able to live with the liver if I had let this little girl die," Jones said. "And I still had more time ... I would have been a very selfish person."

Jones agreed and just days later got a second chance at life. She reached the top of the wait list again and received her organ.

Well, it took this nice lady long enough to realize the inevitable.... that she had been adopted.

Just glad the dog's persistence paid off for him.

Nice story.
