A loving and selfless daycare worker gave part of her liver to one of her former students. The woman stepped up in a big way and helped to provide a 5-year-old young man with a second chance. Check out this unbelievably touching and moving story about kindness and love.

Educators are a special and influential group of people. They are in vital, crucial positions. Every single day, they touch and influence young lives. What they say and do in the classroom will impact generations to come.

Yes, teachers are there to impart knowledge on subjects such as reading, geography, history and mathematics. But in addition to the facts and figures they share with the youngsters in their class, they are also in a position to demonstrate love and kindness to those little ones.

Teachers regularly give of their time and talent to help their students. A clip posted on YouTube tells of a daycare worker who literally gave of herself to save a former student of hers.

Ezra, a sweet young man who, because of complications at birth, needed a liver transplant. To try and find a living donor for her adopted son, Ezra’s mother turned to social media. She posted a message on Facebook informing everyone about the massive need.

Carissa Fisher, Ezra’s former daycare teacher, saw the social media post and got to work trying to determine if she was a match. As the clip mentions, she was a perfect match. Soon enough, both went under the knife, with Carissa giving 5-year-old Ezra a part of her liver.

Carissa said the decision to give a part of her liver to the youngster wasn’t a hard one to make.

“I guess, for me, it wasn’t really a decision,” she said. “It was something I kind of knew I was going to do. I mean, how could you say ‘No’ to them?”

What an unbelievable act of love.

Hebrews 13:16 “But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.”
