Per this article from NBC4 in Washington, D.C., WHS 2000 graduate Linda Collins, currently living in Maryland, “decided that her time would be best spent by doing something nice during the pandemic — so she decided to give her kidney to a complete stranger.” She donated her kidney to Kevin Webb, who has had stage 4 kidney disease. Collins and Webb met for the first time on January 27. Both want to raise awareness for organ donation and encourage others to give the gift of life as well. “It was mind boggling, it was life changing,” said Kevin Webb.
