Disbelief
Camden’s family was stunned in disbelief. They had never expected Nancy to volunteer to do such a thing. After all, few people would be prepared to donate one of their kidneys to another person, let alone someone they didn’t know. As the surgery date approached, the family visited Nancy at school, bearing flowers to express their thanks for her generous effort. Darreld’s extended relatives and friends had previously been tested to check whether they were a match. Unfortunately, none of them were. Darreld was beginning to lose hope until Nancy made her offer.

When the local news media learned of this incredible event, they immediately voiced their respect for Nancy and what she had decided to accomplish. Nancy said her goodbyes to family and friends before heading to the hospital on the day her kidney was to be removed. Darreld admitted to having second thoughts about the whole incident. He was aware that Nancy would be undergoing a major procedure, and he was concerned that anything might go wrong. He was also aware that she was adamant about doing it, and there was nothing he could say to change her decision.
