On Tuesday, 20 Tammuz, Sharon Sabbagh, a Crown Heights mother of five who suffered from kidney failure and was close to going on dialysis, was given a second chance at life thanks to a kind stranger from Boro Park.
Chaim Elazar was inspired to donate a kidney when his brother did so four years ago. He is a Munkacs’er chossid from Boro Park and father of one. His enthusiasm for this mitzvah was enviable.
Sharon’s children all volunteered to donate a kidney for her, but none of them were a proper match fit for the procedure.
She will now IY”H receive a second chance at life due to Chaim Elazar’s amazing selfless act.
“B”H, kidney transplants have a great success rate. However, there needs to be Hashem’s help in order to be successful,” says the Renewal organization, who facilitated the match.
Please take a moment to say Tehillim for the success of the transplant and both donor and recipients’ recoveries; Chaim Elazar ben Esther Fradel and Sara Malka bas Chana.
