Perhaps the parents did not want to take the spotlight away from the two of them, or perhaps they’re not very expressive in front of all those cameras and the audience. My hope is that they thanked and hugged Abraham backstage for all he did for their son. *shrugs*

      I can guarantee you that Chris and Abraham met months earlier through the kidney donation organization. I know this because GMA did a show about reuniting twin sisters separated at birth and they falsely set it up to look like it was their first-ever meeting but the twin sisters actually met months earlier. Abraham's parents more than likely already met and hugged Chris months earlier.

That's something really big for a complete stranger. Kudos to this guy, he's an angel. Personally, I would donate my kidney in a heartbeat but only to very specific people aka my family. Those people are : my 3 siblings, my parents and my aunt (mom's sister) who is like a second mother to me. I'm 20 so not married and no kids but obviously if I was, my wife and kids would be in that list too. If my siblings have kids in the future, they would also be in that list. For me, my siblings are everything so my sibling's kids would be same as my own kids. If one of them was to be in need of a kidney, I wouldn't hesitate to go get myself checked to see if I'm compatible with them so I can donate my kidney.

    • @ashleyblack6157
      @ashleyblack6157 2 роки тому

      You are so right about dialysis!!! Always something wrong…it’s like ur always just on the brink of death…hanging on by just a single frayed thread that is about to give way. My Mom was on dialysis for several years before she passed away. And I know it keeps ppl alive while they are waiting for a transplant or extends ppls lives a little longer who are terminal like my Mom but truly unless u have been on dialysis or watched a close loved one go through it, u just cannot comprehend the horror of it. My mom had to have it every other day. And the days when she didn’t have dialysis, she had to have chemo. SMH. It was literal torture for her. Bc ppl normally feel sick the days after they get dialysis so she would be at the dialysis center on say, a Monday, for 4 hours I believe it is, and then sick as fuck on Tuesday while going in to a different center for chemo. And then back to dialysis again on Wednesday and so on and so forth. My Mom was by far the strongest woman I have ever met. She endured like that for 3 years before she lost her battle. But she fought so hard bc she wanted to be here for me and my sister and her precious grand baby, my daughter who was 5-8 years old while this was going on…she didn’t want to leave us alone she said. She wanted to stay. And oh how we wanted her to stay!! She lived with us and I will forever be thankful for the time we got to spend with her and her with us, especially her and my daughter together. They shares an unspeakable bond. But it was Hard. But even at her sickest moments, she still was only worried about us. She still was tending to us. 2 days before she died she was standing at the kitchen sink doing the dishes. The poor woman could barely stand!! We begged her not to sit down and not worry about it but she said it was just something she had to do. And that it comforted her to do that one last thing for us. God knows I wish I would have done better. I wish I would have taken her to every dialysis and chemo appt instead of her having to take the little handicapped bus. I wish I would have sat with her and held her hand the entire time she was getting her treatment. Like where the Fuck was I that was more important than being there with her? I wish I would have been nicer to her. I wish I would have been more thoughtful and less self seeking, I wish I would have paid her more attention and spoken to her more gently. I wish I would have listened to what she was actually saying and picked up on the little things she wanted or needed. Bc my Mom would never ask for anything. She was always worried about all of us. The one thing the she made very clear to me, the one thing she was the most terrified of, was me putting her in hospice or a convalescence home. That was her biggest fear. To be separated from me and my sister and my daughter in a cold and foreign place. And out of all the wrongs I have done in my life, praise Jesus that I saw to it that she never went to a place like that. She stayed with us until the end. I had made the promise to her, and I kept it. I looked her in the eyes and told her thst as long as their was breath in my body, I would not let her be separated from us. She put her faith in me and I kept my word. Praise Jesus!!! In all the world, a daughter never loved her mother as much as I loved you Mom….as much as I still do….✝️💟🙏

    I cannot imagine deciding at the age of 19 to give up a perfectly good, working kidney to help someone else live. I cannot even understand that thought process. Abraham is an incredible soul who deserves the most out of life. I only wish this had been on Ellen so that he could have gotten a scholarship or something although I know he did it for purely selfless reasons.

    My mother has Lupus and until I watched this I really had no idea exactly how bad it could be. She honestly is always so strong and beautiful a real queen.

    These two beautiful young men need to run for office one day and make a difference. We need young men like these two men to have a better future. I cannot stop crying. God bless them both!

    I may never get a call, but to those who do get that call and go through with donating whatever it may be. Thank you.
