New Jersey Uber Driver Donates Kidney To Passenger
This story can be summed up in one word…. INCREDIBLE!
There are still some fantastic people in the world and Tim Letts is one of those people. Not only is Tim Letts an uber driver in South Jersey, he is also an Army veteran. We salute you Tim Letts! While Tim Letts was on an uber shift, he picked up a man named Bill Sumiel. Bill suffers from kidney problems he is on the waitlist for a new kidney and having to undergo regular dialysis when the transplant team informed him that because of his age he needed to start looking for a kidney and not wait until his spot on the list came up. While Tim was driving Bill to his next dialysis appointment, they struck up a conversation where Bill mentioned where he was going and why. After telling him about what was happening, the driver, Tim Letts tells Bill that he thinks God must have brought them together. He then offered his kidney to Sumiel. “He says, ‘If you’ll take my name and number, I’ll give a kidney to you,” Sumiel recalls. “I was shaking so hard I couldn’t even write down his name and number.”
The driver ended up being a match for his passenger and the two underwent successful transplant surgery. Sumiel is grateful to his donor and the two men have become lifelong friends. He can’t imagine what life would be like if it hadn’t been for that miracle Uber ride. “I know miracles have happened in the past. Maybe they never happened to me, maybe they have,” Sumiel says. “But now I really have those beliefs reinforced.”
