Simply Amazing - Read About a Hero That Lives at Salem Green

There are heroes among us. One even lives at Salem Green Apartments!

Ira will be turning 27 on Thursday, January 23. Unlike most guys his age, Ira will be spending his birthday in the hospital. Ira will be donating one of his kidneys to his aunt.

When we asked Ira what made him decide to do this, he responded that after losing one his other aunts to kidney disease, he wanted to do something to help.

Ira is not the first person in his family to donate an organ. His mother and aunt have both donated kidneys to other family members.

All the Salem staff would like to wish him good luck and good health!

For his 27th birthday, Ira will be giving instead of receiving - he'll be donating a kidney to his aunt!
