Daniel Flood went years without treating his high blood pressure, and as a result, suffered kidney damage. Flood, 68, was told by doctors that he needed a transplant or dialysis. The man was born with only one kidney, and his O- negative blood type made finding a donor that much more difficult.
Flood's three daughters, none of which were a match for their fathers kidney, promised they would find a donor for their father. The waiting list for a kidney transplant was about two to six years, and sensing that their fathers case was time sensitive, they decided they had to take action into their own hands. So they did what any normal person would do, they posted a plea for a donor on craigslist under the volunteer section.
Verdick, a 48 year old woman from California, was visiting craigslist for the first time when she saw the ad. The stereotypical California hippie said: "I turned it over to the universe early on. And I just said, 'If it's meant to be, then I will qualify, and if it's not, I won't.'''
The universe decided that it was meant to be. HNN is happy for Flood, his crazy daughters, Verdick, and the universe.
