AURORA, Colo. — If the last two years have taught us anything, it's that nothing is stronger than human connection.
"I just didn't have any energy," Pearson said."I kept getting infections in my bile ducts. So, it just makes you really really sick. Like, I'd run fevers that were uncontrollable." Ray Espinoza, a husband and father of two from Southern California, was excited to learn he was Kendra's match. "If there was any hesitation on her part, I don't think I would've been able to do it," Espinoza said. "You know, I would've felt guilty on my end. But, when I brought that up, she said,"Alright, let's do it.""
But thankfully, it was successful. And Kendra and Ray finally got to meet for the first time at a follow-up appointment.
