Cab driver gives passenger hope for life without dialysis

Rita Van Loenen had no idea that riding in Thomas Chappell’s taxi cab could end up being the journey that saved her life. Thomas, a veteran cab driver who has been driving Rita Van Loenen to dialysis appointments, blessed the woman a month ago by offering to donate his kidney. When testing Chappell, doctors found the cab driver and his passenger had the same blood type, that their kidneys were compatible, and a perfect match! The selfless act of this cabbie is an extreme example of being a blessing to others. God used this man to go outside of his means and save Rita’s life.  God is so good.
