NYPD Sergeant William Gaspari tried to donate a kidney to Police Officer Tommy Alexander. While he was not a match, through the National Kidney Registry, he donated in Alexander’s behalf, which gave Alexander a voucher for a kidney. Officer Alexander then had a successful kidney transplant.
Both officers were strangers to one another, but they recently met and Dean Moses of AMNY was there.
