## Resource

A Phoenix firefighter, Maddy Geer, gave her kidney to her husband, Junior Coleman, after he was diagnosed with rare stage five kidney failure. Their perfect match made the life-saving transplant possible, and both are now recovering at home. Coleman, who had been battling fatigue, blurry vision, and dangerously high blood pressure, described feeling “alive again” post-surgery. Geer, despite the pain, said the reward was priceless—knowing she saved his life. The couple, both firefighters, are eager to return to duty and are raising funds to cover medical costs. Coleman’s story is a powerful reminder that love can overcome even the toughest medical battles. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
