Happy Friday: Hip2Save Reader Donates Kidney
Sent from reader, Jennifer:
I just wanted to let you know during National Kidney Month that one of your avid users is a hero in our family and community here in Texas! Clif M. donated his kidney to his uncle on New Year’s Eve when most people are out partying and celebrating. He spent two weeks in Houston recovering and returned to work only 15 days later. Most kidney donors take 4-6 weeks off of work to recuperate! March is National Kidney Month and Mr. McBee is doing all he can to raise awareness about kidney disease and donor awareness!
HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

What a wonderful generous person you are. In today’s world we hear so many terrible things happening and it warms my heart to hear about such compassion. Bless you both and may you both get your so well-deserved happy ever afters!
Clif is my baby boy & I have to say I am very proud of him. He is so kind hearted. He saves with hip to save and other coupon sites. He and Jennifer give extra they have to those in need. They are selfless & kind. He is a blessing to so many. Clif will never admit that he is a hero but if you knew his whole story you would tell him that he is. I thank my God for this dear son! We are thankful that Scott’s life has been bettered & that he is full of life now.
Karen -Your comment brought tears to my eyes. You should be so proud. Sounds like you raised him well! What a priceless gift he has given to his uncle. Bless both of them.
God bless!
Beautiful! I lost my mother to kidney disease in January and now I am waiting for my own results on whether I have it, too. Thank you for posting this!
Beautiful! Thank you for the letter&post – puts other ‘stuff’ into perspective. Blessings.
So inspiring! Thanks for posting this and making me feel so good to read about another person’s selflessness. Great story!
God bless!

Beautiful story! Such and inspiration. 🙂
How wonderful!!! Hope everyone is doing well. Hugs to you and your family.
That is great!!! God bless you!
What a wonderful gift! I follow this blog and just saw this. My mom just had a kidney transplant two days ago and I am here in the hospital with her. She is doing amazing. Her kidney came from someone we never met and my cousin donating as part of the kidney swap. Kidney donors are true heroes! You are changing lives and your gift is priceless! Thank you!
My husband donated his kidney to his younger brother in 1998 — that was a year before we got married. This big act of love re-assured me that I was about to marry a wonderful man with a big heart. His brother is doing well now has 2 kids.
What a great story!
What an amazing gift to begin a new year…with life. Clif, you are an inspiration!!!!
Just ran a 5k for kidney awareness and placed second overall, you can live a normal life after donation!
What a beautiful story in every way. God bless Clif, his uncle and all the families involved. Clif, you are an angel and an inspiration to all of us. Spread the word that donating a kidney is truly the gift of life and having one healthy kidney is in every way exactly as functional as having two. xo
“Currently more than 123,000 men, women and children are awaiting organ transplants to save their lives. Thousands more are in need of tissue and cornea transplants to restore their mobility and sight. Register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor today and provide hope to those who wait.”
Also make sure to let your family know your wishes if you were to pass away.

You must be so very proud of Clif, Karen? Such a selfless act..Such a heart warming story to read. I never realized it was National Kidney Month until I read this post Friday. I wanted to post, but just wasn’t sure what all to say other than we are so proud of folks like Clif. I know his uncle is so very thankful and you are all blessed to have him in your family. Inspiration to us all. I know for sure now, I shall never forget March is National Kidney month EVER again.
We just learned yesterday my husband has a tumor the size of a peach in his right kidney, and is undergoing more tests to make sure it has not metastasized outside of the kidney. Outcome so far is looking very promising. They have already scheduled him for surgery to remove right kidney the old fashioned way due to scar tissue and spleen repair many years ago via abdominal/stomach area. They will go in the back of Kidney.
Please keep my husband in your prayers. He is a young 50s age; otherwise healthy male. Urological surgeon said this was something that has grown over a period of 7+ years. I hope my husband will do just as well like Clif is now doing after his surgery too.
May God continue to bless Clif, you, uncle and the entire family. Would you ask Clif to contact me at my email joyuswit @ gmail dot com if he doesn’t mind sharing more with a scared up and coming (no donation, nobody would want it now, but still is radical surgergy) please. I would like to know if they did the robotical procedure on him, recovery period and just overall encouragement and to be able to actually email someone back and forth who has lost a kidney. Oops..don’t mean lost, he knows where it is..It’s in UNCLE 🙂 But you know what I mean. It would be encouraging to share with my husband some firsthand information from someone who went through radical nephrectomy and what kind of pain did he go through afterwards, etc. We are both organ donors and have made it clear of that.
Blessings,
JOY
God bless you.
