问题详情:
A couple in South Carolina has been eagerly seeking an organ donor. They haven’t found one 36 . But they did find something else: friends.
Larry Swilling and his wife Jimmie Sue have been happily 37 for 56 years. So happily, in fact, that Larry has now come to realize he can’t 38 without his wife. “She’s my heart,” he said. The problem with Jimmie Sue is that she 39 a kidney(肾). Jimmie Sue was born with only one, and now that doesn’t 40 . She needs a transplant but neither her husband, nor anyone tested in her family, is a 41 match.
Jimmie Sue is trying to get on a donor list, but the 42 is about two or three years long and that’s for a kidney from a dead donor. Transplant patients who get their kidneys from living donors tend to live 43 . That is why Larry decided to try to ask for it, from total strangers.
“I don’t 44 what people think,” Larry said. He tells his wife, “I’m going to 45 you a kidney.” And on the street, wearing a signboard “Need kidney for my wife”, he’s not shy in asking 46 :“Could I use your kidney?” For the last couple weeks, Larry, at 77, has been walking all over his
hometown and the surrounding towns-basically 47 a kidney. He didn’t really think it would work. 48 he said, “I had to do something.” He didn’t feel 49 when the phone rang. “I’m willing to donate a kidney for your 50 ,” one caller said. “I’d like nothing more than to help you out,” said another.
Believe it or not, over the last few days the 51 hasn’t stopped ringing. Hundreds of people who either saw his sign or heard about it have 52 . One volunteer said, “I’ve got two, but I 53 need one.” Larry hasn’t found a match for his wife, but at least he has already had enough volunteers and 54 enough awareness to save someone. “If I get a kidney, it’s fine. If I don’t, I hope someone else does,” the wife said. And that’s why Larry is still out there, appealing to the 55 of strangers for the love of his wife.
