CRANBERRY TWP — Laura English doesn't like to wait.

In 2015, her husband, Bill, found himself in and out of hospitals and on dialysis as doctors searched for the cause of his failing kidneys. However, his normal life didn't stop.

“It was tough in the beginning because I was working full time, commuting an hour each way,” he said.

This gave him little to no time to spend with his wife and two boys, 2 and 4 years old, and the schedule, along with the dialysis, began to take a toll. Bill English said his employer must have noticed because they decided to lay him off.

The Bellmawr, N.J. residents began working to find him a new kidney.

“I'm the kind of person who plans for the worst and hopes for the best,” English said, adding he got on the transplant list and prepared to wait the expected five-to-seven years.

Laura English didn't wait that long.

“My wife made the Instagram page, the Facebook page and the Twitter,” he said. “I'm not one to draw attention to myself. It was a little awkward for me, but it ended up working out.”

Eventually, Laura English found a post on organ donation site that had gone viral on Facebook. She wrote a comment on the post asking people to consider donating to her husband.

Hundreds of miles away in Butler County, Amy Pauvlinch was scrolling through her phone and saw that plea.

“I call it divine intervention led me to Bill English's story,” said Pauvlinch, a 2008 Seneca Valley High School graduate. “When I saw their post it was like magic, something inside ... it's so hard to describe. It wasn't like one day I woke up and was like, 'I'm about to donate my kidney to a stranger.' For some reason that specific post stood out to me and sparked something inside.”
