Sherry Hanson’s life as a tenant is almost PERFECT. She moved into housing in Minneapolis owned by Urban Homeworks, a faith-based housing organization.
Dan Hunt, housing director for Urban Homeworks, knew that Hanson had 6 children and that kidney disease had forced her to spend 3 days a week in dialysis. "We were talking about it and I said, 'Well, how about if I get tested? And if I'm a match, you can have my kidney,'" said Hunt. "I honestly thought, 'What are the chances that I'm gonna be compatible?'"
Well * Hunt was a match and "from my perspective, I feel like this is sort of what we're made to do," said Hunt.
The transplant was performed recent and "everybody wants to be bound by the what-ifs. What if your kids need it? What if your other one fails? What if -- what if all these things could happen. And I'm just not prepared to live my life based on the what-ifs," said Hunt.
"I just don't know how to feel. I don't know. I'm happy," said Hanson.
"Me, too," said Hunt.

Hi Wallace,
I think I am a good landlord, but that is REMARKABLE!
All the best, Michelle
Yes, it certainly is; however, the interesting thing is whether she will take her "GIFT" and do better for herself and her children AND others!!!
Wow, great story.
