A South Florida teacher is helping a former student receive a life-saving kidney transplant.
Now-20-year-old Bobby Seelman is a former student at Duncan Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens.
After learning of his health condition and the necessity of a kidney transplant, one of his former teachers sent an email out to staff looking for a donor.
Science teacher Julio Vega stepped up to the plate and spent the summer getting tested to see if he was a match.
The two learned recently that Vega is a match and now the life-saving surgery is scheduled for September.
