Following a successful kidney transplant surgery, Massachusetts resident Kara Yimoyines finally fulfilled her unknown kidney donor face-to-face.

Nicole Baltzer donated her kidney to save Yimoyines life. Both moms did not know each other prior to the kidney donation, even though they are from the same area.

Yimoyines was diagnosed with lupus at a young age, which affected her health and her kidneys overtime.

No one in Yimoyines family tested positive as a kidney donor match. A Facebook page has been started to look for someone willing to donate their kidney to Yimoyines, reports ABC News.

After reading Yimoyines was a mom of three children and was in desperate need of a kidney, Baltzer felt compelled to help.

“I [thought], she is a mother like me, living in the same town,” Baltzer said to ABC news. “I have one [child] and I can barely keep up, she has 3. I was thinking, ‘God, this is a nasty disease chipping away at her energy,’ but knowing there could be a time of solution lying within myself, there was some hope in there. Come to find out I had the same blood type as her so, I took action.”

ABC News reports the two mothers became instant friends after they met in February after the transplant at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

Yimoyines was thankful Baltzer gave her another chance at life.

“It takes a remarkably unique and compassionate person who’d do something like this”, Yimoyines said.
