Robert Leibowitz never expected that a family trip to Disney’s Magic Kingdom would change his life.
The 60-year-old New Jersey man has suffered from chronic kidney disease for decades and has been in need of a transplant. So, when he went to the Florida theme park in August, he was sure to wear a white T-shirt that read: “In Need Of Kidney O Positive Call 917-597-2651.”
While they were walking around the park, a woman, Rocio Sandoval, came up to them and asked if she could take a picture of his shirt, which she then posted on Facebook.
