When Neelam Borah fell seriously ill her freshman year of college, she soon learned she needed a new kidney. She received that kidney within a few weeks from someone she'd never met. Leah Waters is a high school journalism teacher in Texas, which is how she heard about Neelam's need.

Leah saved Neelam's life, and their shared love of writing continues to connect them. You can read some of Neelam's writing on her blog.

You can learn more about kidney donations from The National Kidney Foundation.
