Teacher Gets Second Chance from Colleague

A teacher in Albuquerque is getting a second chance at life thanks to her colleagues’ extraordinary generosity. After being diagnosed with liver failure and facing a three-year wait for a transplant, Kathleen Gallegos, a 24-year veteran educator, was offered a lifeline by three coworkers who volunteered to be living donors. First-grade teacher Lorin Ybarra, a 29-year-old match, is set to donate a portion of her liver, enabling Gallegos to undergo surgery this summer. The pair will travel to Colorado for the procedure, with Ybarra staying three weeks and Gallegos recovering for three months. Despite early retirement due to illness, Gallegos’s future now shines brighter than ever, fueled by the selfless act of her fellow educators.
