1 Dad Wore a Shirt to Disney World Looking For a Favor - and It's Not What You Think

By  16:02  No comments

Rocio Yanira Sandoval did something special to help a stranger in need while on a trip to Disney World for his son's birthday. The father described how they came across a man wearing a t-shirt asking for a very specific favor: a kidney donation. The shirt also had words "O Positive" and a phone number on the back.

Sandoval and his son, Juan, decided to spread the word about the request and posted a photo of the man wearing the shirt and pushing his child in a wheelchair to Facebook.

"This man turned around with the biggest smile, so grateful, and said 'Yes, please!'" wrote Sandoval. "He gave us both a hug and said 'Thank you, please share this with the world.'"

Afer the post started to get some serious traction on Facebook, Sandoval learned that the man in the picture's name is Robert. And while he thought the boy in the wheelchair was the person in need of the kidney, it was actually Robert who needed a transplant all along.

Originally Sandoval said: "I can only assume that his child was in the chair. As a parent I'd do ANYTHING for my children, ANYTHING! I can't imagine what this family is feeling. Please take a moment to share this post. I hope they find a donor, I hope this boy makes it, and this family can put this stressful time behind them."

Sandoval explained that although he was wrong about who was getting the kidney at first, it really shouldn't matter who's being helped - since it affects their family regardless of the recipient.

"When I told him I had made the post thinking it was for his son, he was afraid people wouldn't want to become donors, since it's for an adult and not a child," explained Sandoval in his edited post. "This post was meant to help a family, to me it is still a very worthy cause, and worth sharing."

So far there's been no update on Robert's status, but the support from the community shows that Disney World really is a magical place.
