The gift of life

The White Family prior to surgery at Florida Hospital, Orlando, December 7, 2016. Elissa (left), 19, underwent surgery the same day as her dad to donate one of her kidneys to him. Retired Master Sgt. Derrell White (right), had been suffering with a low functioning kidney due to a chronic condition. Master Sgt. Heidi White holds her loved ones close prior to them both facing surgery. The Family was opposed to their daughter being a donor at first, but after running out of options, they accepted her gift of a kidney. (Courtesy photo)
