When Stephen Munari's son Jaren was born, Munari knew he would one day donate an organ to help him. The day before his birth, doctors told Jaren's parents that their son would have just the one kidney, which was 'on the small side,' his mother, Donna Griebel, told CBS News. Jaren, now 9, was born with a rare congenital disorder called branchio-oto-renal syndrome.
'We were in Magic Kingdom. I remember exactly where we were,' said Munari. 'My transplant coordinator reached out and was like 'You're a match. We're going to do this as soon as possible.' We got home, we picked the date and the rest is history.'' One morning, two surgeries Jaren and Munari's surgeries were scheduled for Sept. 25, 2023. At 8 a.m., Munari underwent a minimally invasive surgery, according to Berger.
