Giving the Gift of Life Long before It`s Needed

Caption

Howard Broadman poses with his grandson Quinn in Laguna Niguel, CA. Quinn was born with only one kidney and will eventually need a transplant. Broadman is the first patient in history to donate a kidney to a stranger and, in return, get a voucher for his grandson to use when a transplant becomes necessary.
