SEATTLE - It's a very special day for two women at a Seattle hospital.

Starbucks barista Sandie Andersen donated a kidney to a longtime customer at her Tacoma store.

Annamarie Ausnes needed a donor, and Andersen was a perfect match. The two strangers met over coffee and became the best of friends.

As the Mother of a son who has had a kidney transplant; I am always extremely touched at stories of this kind. I wish more people would do things like that. I have only one kidney and don't miss it one bit...

Thanks for sharing this.... This is something near and dear to me...
