Lawyer-to-lawyer kidney donation story will warm your heart
At first glance, Carrie Vickery and Alan Andrews have little in common. She’s petite, Caucasian and young – 27 to be exact – while he is tall, African American and more than 20 years her senior. Nevertheless, the two share the most intimate of bonds: Vickery’s kidneys.
“Carrie and I apparently have all of this commonality, and we’re just coincidentally two people who work on the same street,” said Andrews, a deputy attorney for the City of Winston-Salem. “I would never have thought that. It’s actually proved in my mind that we are all the same beneath our skin.”
The two attorneys’ unlikely story begins in January, when they briefly crossed paths at a Winston-Salem Bar Association meeting honoring the late Judge Roland Hayes. As luck or fate would have it, less than a year later, Vickery, an attorney at Holton Law Firm, would be offering up her kidney to Andrews over lunch.
