Grandma Feels Wind Knocked Out Of Her Upon Learning Secret Teacher Kept About Her Granddaughter
Oakfield Elementary School teacher Jodi Schmidt loved seeing eight-year-old Natasha Fuller's bright smile and bubbly attitude as she bopped down the hallway at school. Ms. Schmidt, a mom of three, had no idea that despite the little girl's positive outlook and sweet demeanor, Natasha's health was quickly deteriorating.
Natasha was born with prune belly syndrome, a condition that causes urinary tract disease and ultimately requires a new kidney. Natasha had been traveling to the hospital three times a week for dialysis but had fallen into renal failure and desperately needed a kidney.
Natasha had been staying with her grandparents Chris and Mark Burleton in Wisconsin for two years now so she could receive specialized care at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
She consulted her husband and kids, then secretly had herself tested to see if she was a match to Natasha. Ms. Schmidt decided to approach Natasha and her grandmother at school regarding what she had learned.
Ms. Schmidt invited them to her classroom and her news was captured in the video below. When Ms. Schmidt slid a hot pink gift box topped with a neon green bow over in front of Chris, Grandma was startled.
