A Canadian Man Proposed To His Girlfriend After Learning He Could Donate His Kidney To Her
They will make you believe in love again.
Christian Willenborg and Errin Tollefson are engaged to be married, but this week their relationship went one step further. Willenborg just gave his kidney to his fiancé after learning he was a near-perfect match for an organ donation.
The Saskatoon couple have been together for five years. During that time she has battled health problems.
The two were only on their fourth date when Tollefson revealed she was born with only one kidney, and it was failing.
“She was upfront with me right at the start," Willenborg told BuzzFeed Canada. "We had a clear connection right from the beginning and she didn’t want to hide anything.”
Willenborg said he was shocked to learn how serious her condition was because "she was so full of life."
