PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — There is a desperate request from a Northeast Philadelphia family as they are looking for a kidney donor for their 19-year-old son.
Nearly 6,000 people in our region are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.
The waiting list nationally is so long that some families are taking matters into their own hands by making a public plea.
There is a shadow Kevin Brighter wants to bring to the light.
“The biggest fear I have is not being able to live my life to the fullest and not being able to find a donor and feeling lost,” he said.
