Man’s Death Helps Save Sister’s Life
by Mark Kennedy
Anthony Petitt, 23, said he wanted to get tested to see if he could
donate his kidney to his sister. Jessica Bowels was diagnosed with
IgA Nephropathy, a kidney disorder, at 13 years old and now needed
a transplant at the age of 21. Anthony had the paperwork to do so,
but then tragedy struck.
