Born with the genetic disease juvenile nephronophthisis, which destroys the kidneys, 8-year-old Sarah Dickman of Atlanta was desperate. Without a new kidney, there was a good chance she wouldn't live much longer. Her family posted fliers requesting that a compatible donor come forward. Soon enough, someone did: Laura Bolan,34, who saw a flier at the school that Sarah and two of Bolan's own children attend. Two week ago, both Sarah and Bolan underwent surgery, and both are doing fine.
