Chaya Lipschutz, an Orthodox Jewish woman from Brooklyn, donated her
kidney to a stranger. After that, she decided to spend all her time trying
to match up potential donors with kidney patients. It's incredibly hard to
make a match, and for a year, she had no success. Then, she gets her first
break: Her brother's going to donate. For Chaya, a single, middle-aged
woman who was supposed to get married decades ago like everyone else in
her community, being a kidney matchmaker has become an obsession. She
needs this surgery to succeed. Reporter Mary Robertson and This American
Life Producer Sarah Koenig recorded Chaya and her brother as the
transplant date approached. (19 minutes)
