An eight-year-old from Oklahoma named Natasha Fuller has been living with her grandparents in Wisconsin for two years, so she can get dialysis in Milwaukee while she waits for a kidney transplant.She has a rare disorder where your stomach muscles don’t develop right.  So it causes all kinds of problems, and she needs a transplant soon . . . or she could die.  Luckily she has a pretty amazing first grade teacher.Her name is Jodi Schmidt, and she recently decided to donate one of HER kidneys . . . got tested . . . and they were a match.

 

But then Jodi gave her a pink box with a note inside that said, “It’s a MATCH.”  She immediately knew what it meant, and started crying.  And the school’s principal got the whole thing on video.  (Watch it here.)
