Donated Kidney Saves a Life

Acroth, GA Patch | Holy Roberson
Tina Jennings didn't know 10-year-old Bryson Dickman, but she says she knew in her heart she was meant to give him one of her kidneys.

Tina Jennings was at her allergy clinic when she saw the flyer.

Bryson Dickman, 10, of Acworth had medullary cystic disease and his kidneys were failing.

She'd seen flyers like that before—somebody needing help from the community.

But for some reason she pulled out her Red Cross card and found that she had the same blood type as Bryson.

She got home and talked it over with her husband, Parnick. She prayed about it and asked God for some sign she was doing the right thing.

Jennings passed a church the next day and there was a sign out front that said "Be an organ donor."
