The mayor of one Midlands town is close to renal failure if she doesn't receive a kidney as soon as possible.
Manning's mayor, Julia Nelson, found out just before Thanksgiving that she needed a new kidney due to something called polycystic kidney disease, which she's been suffering with since 2009. She kept her disease quiet for awhile but realized she couldn't when she needed help.
"To be honest, I've been praying for a medical miracle," said Nelson.
Unfortunately, the disease is genetic and automatically disqualifies any of Nelson's family members from being able to donate the desperately needed organ.
"Now that's going to be a job to get someone to give me a kidney because you don't think you have anyone in your life that loves you enough," said Nelson.
Mayor Nelson spends countless hours on the job and says dialysis is not a feasible option.
