Nine Pineapples


In 2016, Becca Bundy’s one-year-old daughter suffered a seizure. She called for help and volunteer fire fighter Bill Cox came to the rescue. Two years later, Becca spotted Bill as he tended bar in Cook, Minnesota. He was wearing a bright green shirt that said, “My name is Bill. I’m in end stage kidney failure. I’m in need of a kidney.” Becca’s first thought was this might be the perfect way to thank the man who’d been there when her little girl needed help. She tested positive as a tissue match, and Becca donated one of her healthy kidneys to Bill in February. Today 66-year-old Bill is free from dialysis and enjoying retirement with his wife, Terry.  They’re making plans to host Becca, her husband and their four daughters on their boat later this summer.
