A Texas kindergarten teacher has given a life-saving gift to one of her student’s parents.<\/p>\n

Marie Bell donated one of her kidneys to a the father of one of her students.<\/p>\n

“People have said things to me like, ‘You’re a hero. You’re an angel. This is extraordinary.’ And to me, it’s not. I’m ordinary,” she said.<\/p>\n

5-year-old Sean Smith was late for school one day because his father was waiting for a kidney transplant.<\/p>\n

The boy’s older brother told Bell the boy was late because their father had been called to the hospital to get a new kidney, but the kidney was diseased.<\/p>\n

“That’s when my brain began to turn,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I wanted Marshall to have a second chance and to see his little boy grow up,” Bell said.<\/p>\n

Marshall Smith is now recovering from the kidney transplant.<\/p>\n

“The whole time, she was bubbling over,” he said. “It was like a joy that God had given her and a peace to do this.”<\/p>\n

Smith is now able to spend more time with his eight children and look back on days spent sick.<\/p>\n

“It was pretty horrible,” he said. “I had to go to dialysis three times a week.”<\/p>\n

Smith said a day does not go by without thinking of his child’s teacher, who forever changed their lives.<\/p>\n

“She is loved in this family,” he said.<\/p>\n
