Atlanta The picture of the smiling little girl on the flier was more than Laura Bolan could take.
After a quick Internet search on kidney transplants and a conversation with her husband, Bolan made the phone call that would change her life and certainly change 8-year-old Sarah Dickman's life.
The Acworth girl was born with the genetic disease juvenile nephronophthisis, which slowly destroys a the kidneys. Without treatment, it can kill a child before the age of 15. Doctors said she needed a healthy kidney quickly.
Bolan, 34, had never met Sarah, but she knew she wanted to help her.

This was so sweet. So nice to read stories about strangers going out of their way to help others. We need more people like this.
