In the article, "Facebook Post Helps Toddler Get Kidney From Parents' Former High School Classmate" by journalist Gillian Mohney, she talks about the story of two year old Miles Wagner, who experienced kidney failure at only eight months old, and his father, Ryan Wagner, was "diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer during his wife's pregnancy" (Mohney). Miles recently had a kidney transplant operation successfully completed thanks to a post his parents, Ashley and Ryan Wagner, posted on Facebook about Miles and his kidney problem, asking for a potential donor. "Elizabeth Wolodkiewicz, a former high school classmate of both Ashley and Ryan Wagner" (Mohney) responded to the Facebook post and donated her kidney to help Miles and allow for his kidney transplant.
