A blood test confirmed that Kelsey was able to donate her kidney to her best friend, Colin.

Two best friends are now forever bonded thanks to a lifesaving kidney transplant.

Kelsey Anderson, 34, and Colin Giglio, 37, practically grew up together.

“We were always pretty close,” said Anderson. “We went to the same church, our sisters were friends. We ended up going to the same college and grew really close there. Then after college, ended up working for the same company.”
