Craigslist’s reputation for connecting strangers looking to buy or sell
items vaulted to the near-miraculous stage when a 28-year-old Florida
woman’s last-ditch plea saved her life with a donated kidney. For free.
Doctors couldn’t find a match for Selina Hodge after searching for more
than a year. Her health was deteriorating after three years of daily
kidney dialysis, so she posted her plea on the online want-ad site in
July, according to the Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale.
The ultimate irony: The woman who matched, 23-year-old Stephanie Grant,
out of more than 800 respondents lives only a few miles from Hodge’s
Palm Beach Gardens home.
After months of preparation, doctors performed the surgery on Tuesday,
and Hodge and Grant are recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital in
Miami.
