Son Finds Kidney for Mom on Craigslist
A 65-year-old mom in West Virginia was told she'd have to wait five years to receive an kidney transplant, so her son Jeremy posted an ad on Craigslist, saying "Wanted: Kidney", and found a perfect match.

Cindy Prettyman, 65, of Glen Dale, West Virginia, (pictured, right) was told she'd have to wait five years to receive an organ transplant – but her son Jeremy posted an ad on Craigslist that read, "Wanted: Kidney", and found a donor.

Jacklyn Mellott, 56, (left) a resident of Union Port, Ohio, coincidentally the area where Cindy grew up, said she'd always wanted to donate. Her wish was granted after she learned she was a perfect donor match.
