ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this Make a Difference Minute, Debbe Coffman Kirk shares the story of her husband, Ronnie Kirk, of Stevenson, Alabama, a retired U.S. Army veteran who spent 22 years serving his country and now needs a living kidney donor.
Ronnie enlisted in the Army at just 17 years old. Throughout his military career, he became much more than a leader to the soldiers serving alongside him. He became a mentor, someone they trusted and continued turning to long after their time together in the Army.
Debbe says many of those soldiers still call Ronnie today. They credit his guidance with helping them become the people they are now.
For more than two decades, Ronnie answered the call to serve others. Today, he needs someone willing to consider answering a call for him.
