Abby's brother was only 2 years old when he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a serious disorder that severely damaged his kidneys. About her decision to give her older brother a kidney, she says it was an easy decision and that "giving him that opportunity to be able to do those things that he couldn’t do before is what really drove me to give him my kidney".
