Out of the heart of Texas, a story of hope and humanity unfolded when Baer Sobieralski, a toddler grappling with a rare genetic condition, faced kidney failure before his first birthday. With no family members compatible for a kidney donation, Baer's name was added to the waiting list for a transplant. As time became a luxury they could not afford, Baer's family made a heartfelt plea to the public.
Enter Jane Callahan, a third-grade teacher and single mother of two, who was moved by Baer's plight. Jane stepped forward and discovered she was a perfect match. Embracing the role of an unexpected guardian angel, Jane underwent a five-hour transplant surgery at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
The surgery was a success. Now at the tender age of two, Baer is on the road to recovery, and Jane reports feeling wonderful post-operation. In the months following this life-saving procedure, the two families have developed a bond of gratitude and friendship, showing the profound impact of selfless giving.
Jane has a simple yet powerful rationale, saying, "They needed someone, and I felt like I was that someone.” We love sharing good news like this.
