Something was very wrong at home for this 4-year-old. When the teacher saw the boy crying at school, she decided to get to the bottom of the issue. A phone call with the dad left her in shock. This teacher deserves a gold medal for what she did!
A teacher is usually the second most important adult in a child’s life. Nancy Bleur is a lovely and caring 54-year-old kindergarten teacher from Iowa. She absolutely adores her students and goes out of her way to make them happy. One day she noticed that 4-year-old Camden in her class wasn’t his usual self. She decided to have a little chat with him to see what was up. That’s when the boy started telling her about his father… and it made her heart sink.
She felt like she had to do something – and fast. Turns out Camden’s father, 34-year-old Darreld Petersen, was very sick. When Nancy realised just how bad, it made her even more worried as she couldn’t bare the thought of how it was affecting little Camden. That’s when she decided to call the dad up. There was something seriously wrong with Darreld’s kidneys that made them function at just 20 percent of their capacity.
Camden was terrified when he saw his father during his dialysis treatment because he looked so sick. Nancy resolved to assist the family in any way she could. You might think Nancy offered to babysit, do the groceries, cook, or assist with any other daily task, but Nancy went much further in lending her assistance. Darreld was offered one of her kidneys.
She happened to be a perfect match, so all she had to do was quickly fill out some paperwork. “I was ecstatic about it. I was overjoyed. “I’m not sure what I would have done for closure if I hadn’t been [a match],” she says. Camden’s father was both surprised and delighted by Nancy’s generous offer. She would save his life.
“It’s incredible. Every day, people wait for a kidney or an organ in general. I wish more people were like her. Darrell told ABC News, “She’s giving me a second chance at life.” When Nancy’s family discovered that her kidney matched Darreld’s, they decided to surprise her with flowers at school. Camden is overjoyed that his teacher is assisting in saving his father’s life.
The world is full of good people! If everyone were as selfless as Nancy, the world would be a better place. Now let’s hope that the operation runs smoothly and that they both have a speedy recovery Please share this article if you were also touched by Nancy’s lovely gift to Camden’s dad. Peace and Love.
