COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Lori Coulter suffers from polycystic kidney disease, a condition that ends in kidney failure and causes a host of other complications.

Coulter spent two years on dialysis after her first transplanted kidney failed in April of 2014. Faced with a three- to five- year wait for a new kidney on the National Registry, Coulter turned to Facebook for help. She set up a page called Find a kidney for Lori, and to her surprise a complete stranger came to her rescue.

“Angela Allen is my angel donor. I don’t know her story as to what [or] why she decided to help but I’m so thankful and blessed that she did,” said Coulter.

Although many people from around the county were tested, Allen was Coulter’s match.

March is National Kidney Month, and fittingly both women will undergo surgery at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center on Tuesday.

Coulter feels blessed that Allen chose to get tested, saying, “It amazes me that there are people in the world who are willing to give an organ to a total stranger.”
