## Resource

Today, we have an incredibly special guest who embodies the true spirit of generosity and courage—Tina's husband, Jeff Baden. In December, Jeff made a life-changing decision to become a living kidney donor to our neighbor, Janet, who was facing the heavy burden of kidney failure. Join us as we dive deep into their heartfelt story, sparked by a simple Facebook post that ignited a powerful journey of hope and resilience. Jeff will share the step-by-step process he embarked on to become a donor, the emotions he experienced from the initial decision to the recovery phase, and how this extraordinary act of kindness transformed his outlook on life and health. Together, let’s explore the profound impact one person can have on another’s life and the beautiful connections that bloom from acts of selflessness.
