ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Anh Nguyen shares her story of becoming a living kidney donor. After her friend developed kidney failure, Anh stepped forward to donate a kidney, and years later she returned to UC San Diego to give again, this time donating part of her liver to a child she had never met. She reflects on the gratitude she felt waking up from surgery, the compassion she learned to extend to herself during recovery, and the quiet joy of knowing that two families, and generations to come, will carry forward from her gifts.
