Robert Leibowitz was in need of a kidney for a transplant; he's had a chronic kidney disease for decades. He went to Disney World and his daughter suggested her wear a shirt with a special message: In Need of Kidney O Positive Call 917-597-2651. A woman at the park asked Leibowitz if she could take a photo of his shirt and share it on Facebook. By the end of his trip, it had been shared 40,000 times. Strangers were calling and asking if they could help. In the end, five people were tested, and one of them, Richie Sully of Indiana, was a match.
