PALM BEACH, FL — A 28-year-old woman in dire need of a kidney finds renewed hope on Craigslist.<\/p>\n
She was on a waiting list for transplants, but was afraid she may not get an organ in time to save her. She did an unique thing, she posted an ad on Craigslist.<\/p>\n
“Every now and then I’ll go over to the mailboxes,” said Selina Hodge<\/strong>, the 28-year-old. Life isn’t always easy\u00a0 for Hodge<\/strong> — spina bifida, arthritis and a thyroid disease. She also has nine hours of dialysis every night since being diagnosed with kidney failure four years ago.<\/p>\n Hodge<\/strong> needs to find a kidney donor. She recently turned to craigslist to find anyone willing to help her.<\/p>\n In just a few weeks, Hodge’s<\/strong> prayers and that craigslist plea are being answered.<\/p>\n “Someone in Africa reached out to me. Two or three people from Africa reached out to me,” said Hodge<\/strong>. Two others who stepped forward, live just miles from Hodge’s<\/strong> Palm Beach Gardens home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PALM BEACH, FL — A 28-year-old woman in dire need of a kidney finds renewed hope on Craigslist.
