Ericka Downey was sitting on the closet floor of her home near Tulsa, Okla., in December, when she felt a tug.
The pull came from an interesting place: a 58-year old man she had never met. More specifically, his kidney.
Taking a break from cleaning her closet, Downey had seen on social media that former Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie was in desperate need of a kidney and she wanted to help. Instead of scrolling past, Downey felt compelled to act.
A voice in her mind told her, “You need to do something.”
