Sick teacher receives a heartwarming surprise when former student reveals she is willing to donate her kidney to him

The former teacher said that he has had problems with his kidneys ever since he was a teen and was convinced by his wife to look for a donor on social media
UPDATED OCT 16, 2018

A retired teacher found out that he was going to be receiving a life-changing gift from one of his former students at the high school where he taught and that heartwarming moment was caught on camera. 63-year-old George Labecki was surprised by 34-year-old Lindsay Arnold Wenrich on October 7 when she revealed to him that she will be donating one of her kidneys to him. Labecki, who is from New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, said in an interview: "I was stunned. I was overpowered about the absolutely grand size [gesture] of what she was about to do for me. I was speechless, absolutely speechless." The former teacher also said that he has had problems with his kidneys ever since he was a teen.

Good Morning America reported that in January 2017, however, his organs started failing and he was placed on the country's transplant list shortly after. On April 20 this year, Labecki posted about his issues on Facebook after his wife told him to look for a suitable donor using social media.
