Brad Dean doesn’t know Jennifer Gommer.He also doesn’t know her mother, Sue.
Dean is a stranger to the Gommers, and none of them have ever heard of a man named Jeffrey Rogers. But on Monday, all four will be forever linked at a Duke University medical facility.
Sue Gommer and Rogers, both of whom live in North Carolina, need kidney transplants. Jennifer Gommer and Dean will each be donating a kidney, Jennifer Gommer to Rogers and Dean to Sue Gommer.
But unlike most paired kidney exchanges, this one involves what doctors call an altruistic donor, someone who simply volunteers to provide a kidney and doesn’t care who gets it.
Dean is an altruistic donor.
