US woman donates kidney to man – whose wife donates to donor’s brother

Tale of generosity between Tony and Tracey Gonzalez from Illinois and Joely Sanders and Frank Pompa from Arizona goes viral

When Tony Gonzalez of Illinois required an organ donor to be freed from the dialysis machine keeping him alive despite his failing kidney, an Arizona woman named Joely Sanders stepped up.

Sanders's brother, Frank Pompa, also required a new kidney after one of his had failed - and, of all people, it was Gonzalez's wife, Tracey, who provided the crucial organ donation to free him from his dialysis machine in October.
