Giving a Kidney to Pay It Forward | Wichita News

JJ Hayes, a Wichita radio host, is donating his left kidney in St. Louis — part of a three-person transplant chain — driven by the memory of his late wife, Michelle, who received a life-saving kidney from a stranger nine years ago. With deep personal motivation and decades of commitment to organ donation, Hayes remains calm and at peace, knowing his gift will give someone more time with their loved ones. His journey even circles back to a billboard he saw in St. Louis, sparking his continued connection to the cause. He’ll meet both the woman he’s helping and the recipient of his kidney for the first time this weekend — a powerful, emotional full-circle moment of giving.
