A Dallas teenager met the family of his kidney donor for the first time as part of the National Donor Sabbath.
Churches around the country held special services Sunday to promote organ donation.
Mason Salazar, 20, lost his life July 1 from a shooting. While his family grieved, they made a decision that let another family keep their son alive.
"We just started screaming and shouting and jumping. And I said, it's time, it's time. We have a kidney," said Cynthia Jefferson, mother of Bryson Lewis, 16, who would receive Mason Salazar's liver.
Lewis had suffered kidney failure and went through dialysis. He was on the waiting list for an organ transplant when the Salazars donated their son's kidney to him.
