The Gift of a Normal Childhood
Kayleigh Kulage of Pacific, Missouri, may finally have a chance at a normal life, thanks to her pre-kindergarten teacher, who donated a kidney to the five-year-old.
Born premature at just 26 weeks, Kayleigh has needed a new kidney since her birth and has required nightly peritoneal dialysis, Fox 2 Now reported.
According to Kayleigh’s mother, Desiree, the little girl has taken everything in stride. “If she didn’t have like these tubes on her or anything you wouldn’t really know anything’s wrong with her,” Desiree said. “She never cries. She never complains about pain. She’s a happy kid. I couldn’t have been any luckier to have her.”
