Tucson teen donates a kidney to a toddler

A Tucson toddler will get the chance to live a normal, healthy life -- thanks to a teenager. Isaiah Hernandez was born with end stage renal failure and was just months away from having to endure grueling dialysis treatments. His mother pleaded for someone to step forward to donate a kidney. Several people did, including 18-year-old Briana Delcampo. When Briana heard that the tenacious toddler needed a new kidney -- she didn't hesitate to help. "The first thing that came to mind was: I would love to be tested,' said Briana. She has been a friend of the family for years. She's seen first hand the heartache in the Hernandez household as Isaiah spent nearly all of his life -- in and out of hospitals -- undergoing multiple surgeries. So she wanted to give Isaiah a chance at a normal life. "I've lived 18 years and i've got to do things. I've got to travel and do things that people wish they could do and I just want him to grow up and be able to do the things I did. You know, live a normal life," she said.
