Audrey Holmgren, 30, donated her kidney to her friend Alex Eastman, 26, on September 9, 2019 at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. At age 18 Eastman was diagnosed with dense deposit disease, and last fall his kidneys began to fail and he started dialysis. Holmgren found out she was a match and donated her kidney to save her friend’s life. (Chancey Bush/ The Gazette)
