An Oklahoma City councillor donated a kidney to someone he barely knew on Monday and credited his strong faith for inspiring him. Owasso City Councillor Chris Kelley, 34, and Paul Kropp, 46, had met only a couple of times before but the pair just got a whole lot closer after Kelley gave Kropp his kidney in a life-saving rare organ donation surgery. 'Words can’t describe what he’s done for me,' said Kropp, to Tulsa World. Blessed: Paul Kropp, 46, was given a life-saving kidney donation from Owasso City Councillor Chris Kelley, 34, whom he'd only met a few times before

All of that changed in February of this year when a friend of Kropp died at age 50 without warning and @placeholder decided it would be a good idea to see a doctor to evaluate his own well-being a few months later.
