A Campbell woman could be released from the hospital as early as Wednesday after a stranger stepped forward to save her life.

Kimberly Smith , a foster mother to more than 30 children and adoptive mother of five, had undergone 41 surgeries and exhausted all treatment for her kidney failure, prompting her pastor to make a public plea for help.

Jason Evans of Hubbard answered the call.

"I knew at that moment that I was going to get tested to see if I was able to be a donor," Evans said.

After undergoing physicals and blood tests for two months, it was determined that Evans was a match for Smith.

"I just stood there and cried, because I was just overwhelmed. Somebody who just...they don't even know you. That'd be very hard even when you know someone," Smith said.

Dr. Charles Modlin of the Cleveland Clinic said finding the match happened just in time.

"There wasn't a lot of time remaining that she could undergo hemodialysis because she didn't have any adequate veins to gain control for dialysis, so she was basically running out of time," Modlin said.

Smith said the surgery, which was performed successfully last Tuesday, saved her life.

"The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. I say a zillion, if there's any higher numbers than that, too," Smith said.

Evans said having the opportunity to help was enough for him.

"She inspired me. From the time I heard everything she's done, just totally inspired me. She's an amazing woman," Evans said.
