lmao i thought the same things, thats why i clicked on the video. seemed like they both liked each other. and the tension was real. if abraham would make the first move tho bc the other one was sooo shy. it would be really cute tho :) how he saved his life and later on they would get married!! ahhh i love love
@@lindamcwalters5865 I thought the same thing. I would have ran over to him when he came out. I would be so emotional and happy to hug him. God will bless the young man for LOVING OTHERS. Peace and God bless you Linda! Lynne 🍃💜🍃
This young man literally saved the other guys life. Voluntarily. With all the nastiness going on in America, it’s good to know that good people still exist out there!
puupilo96746 I just commented the same thing too. No emotion at all . I read a few comments and they are saying they are probably told not to stand up during filming . Which is ridiculous.
puupilo96746 I totally agree with you, and at the same time, I try to give people the benefit of a doubt. Perhaps the parents did not want to take the spotlight away from the two of them, or perhaps they’re not very expressive in front of all those cameras and the audience. My hope is that they thanked and hugged Abraham backstage for all he did for their son. *shrugs*
@@jane_mrs.cloud_8306 You know sometimes you just gotta let it the way it is, don't say and ruin things. I'm sure what the person meant didn't involve those things...
As a mother myself I agree with your comment.. I would have gotten SO emotional i would have cried, stood up and squeeze the life out of him thanking him for saving my baby.
@@D-Dollie Oh WOW. That's a first for me. I've watched many shows including this one where there's such a special meeting or reunion and the guests have embraced. I'm not sure why in this case they'd be asked to remain seated? But ok. Have a blessed day
That’s my sister and nephew, and yes they are extremely grateful , and have had plenty of conversation off camera with the donor not everything has to be filmed.
To me, anyone who donates a part of his/her body part when he/she is alive to save another's life is a hero to me, and more so when the recipient is a completely stranger. I am really inspired by this young man's selfless, human loving act.
Absolutely! Even in death it’s incredibly giving. My best friend from birth died at 22 and she gave the gift of sight to someone else ❤️ she’s my forever hero and inspired me to sign up as an organ donor as well as a bone marrow list!! I encourage everyone to please sign up for bone marrow and blood donation while you are alive!
@zeeshan bangash - more than likely, they already met prior to appearing on the show at a private meeting. I can guarantee you that Abraham and Chris met earlier months before.
@@katalovesresets7487 - No, due to privacy medical laws in the USA, the Kidney Donor Organization are the first to introduce the donor and the recipient. This is usually done behind closed doors without cameras. After the initial meeting, the donor and the recipient are free to do interviews on television. That's how it works! The parents have already hugged and kissed the donor in private. This is not their first meeting. It has absolutely nothing to do with the parents being nervous. Think about it, the donor had save their son's life so do you think they would not even stand up to shake the guy's hand? Come on, be real, the parents had already thanked the donor at the first meeting with the Kidney Donor organization.
I can guarantee you that Chris and Abraham met months earlier through the kidney donation organization. I know this because GMA did a show about reuniting twin sisters separated at birth and they falsely set it up to look like it was their first-ever meeting but the twin sisters actually met months earlier. Abraham's parents more than likely already met and hugged Chris months earlier.
This strange kid saves their kids’ life and they couldn’t even get up and give him a hug?? Wtf. If this had happened to me, I would fall to my knees and thank this persons soul for being so kind and generous.
A lot of parents don't seem to realize how important it is to raise a good human being, this is the result you will get when you put great parenting skills into child life. You will end up having a great human being, who will give to the World not just take from it. Amazing young man.
@@MsBhappy I understand how you feel. I wish I had all the answers to share, but I live on the faith that God loves us all, and has a plan for each of our lives. I believe that He truly does "Work all things together for the Good"...and that THIS world is not yet His. The NEXT one is. Here he needs our faith and our prayers, and goodness to help Him. I believe when that little girl passed from this world she was taken in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and lives in total love & peace & joy forever. And one day will be joined with her family in heaven. That gift is there for all of us; we just have to ask for it. God bless you, friend. T.
@@sureyyaekinci4630 That's me right there. I have a big heart, I would help anybody in need of money, food, kindness etc... just like you said but donating a kidney ?? That's something really big for a complete stranger. Kudos to this guy, he's an angel. Personally, I would donate my kidney in a heartbeat but only to very specific people aka my family. Those people are : my 3 siblings, my parents and my aunt (mom's sister) who is like a second mother to me. I'm 20 so not married and no kids but obviously if I was, my wife and kids would be in that list too. If my siblings have kids in the future, they would also be in that list. For me, my siblings are everything so my sibling's kids would be same as my own kids. If one of them was to be in need of a kidney, I wouldn't hesitate to go get myself checked to see if I'm compatible with them so I can donate my kidney.
@Dan Hill - It's because this isn't really their first meeting. The kidney donation organization set-up their first meeting in private. That's where the parents showed their gratefulness to Chris. GMA likes to trick their viewers to think that it's their first meeting but it's not.
Damn that mom went through it. Son is in hospital on dialysis and her daughter dies. I don't know how people are okay after things like that. Shes stronger than I could ever be. 😔
It's nothing to do with not liking the vid..it's algorithms..maybe some do genuinely dislike the vids on RU-vid but majority of the time it's to do with algorithms. Likes and dislikes influences what videos you like and what vid you'll see next.
@@vegasvictor yeah you're right. However, he clearly wanted to think his donor. Do you know how many people who ever even try to reach out to their donor?
400 dislikes... On a video with 1.5million views... That means 1/50th of *1 SINGLE PERCENT* of the people who saw this video disliked it. It's pretty likely that most of those could have been accidents.
You shouldn't feel selfish..by just having the kindness and compassion to watch stuff like this in the first place says alot about the kind of person you are..you ARE doing something for everyone just by being in this world and shining and sharing your light..this world needs that light to help make it a better place for all of us..so please don't feel selfish,you are helping more than you realize ☺❤
@@marcirwilcox1160 You should feel ashamed for that. I hope you will take a moment to think about what you did and redeem yourself for the good. Bless you.
Exactly, I was hoping to read another comment with the same thinking as mine, I was like, Why in the world the parents didn't even Shook His hand or a freaking Hug, I Mean like really??,WTF!!!!, HE SAVED THEIR KIDS LIFE, a little hug to the Gentleman wouldn't kill them... I love this story and im happy for the kid who was saved, But a Little more Gratitude and emotion to the donor wouldn't hurt them....UGH, Glad i'm not the only one who feels a bit bother by that.......
Yeah I would gotten up and hugged him I mean he saved their sons life!!!! They knew they were going to meet him they should've prepared with what they would say.
A life was saved! And expecting a "different reaction" from the parents is a little judgy. Like a person who gives presents and expects some in return... when it really never came from the heart. The type of person to post pics of themselves donating food to homeless people. Like seriously? When people do good things do you ever see an audience around them? 😒 like bitch seriously
I just celebrated my one year kidney donation anniversary to a young mom I met off Facebook. It’s always great to see other stories about donations and people just being genuinely kind.
Omar Gutierrez no I am about the same as I was with two kidneys. The biggest thing is the fatigue. For the first six month and even now still the fatigue when it sets in can be hard to manage.
God bless his soul man . I was on dialysis for 2 years and let me tell you I thought I was going to die . Dialysis isn’t easy there’s always something wrong.. my Blood pressure was up the roof sometimes rushed to the hospital because I felt sick .. but THANk GOD MY FATHER was a match and donated me his kidney. It is literally a life changing experience.
You are so right about dialysis!!! Always something wrong…it’s like ur always just on the brink of death…hanging on by just a single frayed thread that is about to give way. My Mom was on dialysis for several years before she passed away. And I know it keeps ppl alive while they are waiting for a transplant or extends ppls lives a little longer who are terminal like my Mom but truly unless u have been on dialysis or watched a close loved one go through it, u just cannot comprehend the horror of it. My mom had to have it every other day. And the days when she didn’t have dialysis, she had to have chemo. SMH. It was literal torture for her. Bc ppl normally feel sick the days after they get dialysis so she would be at the dialysis center on say, a Monday, for 4 hours I believe it is, and then sick as fuck on Tuesday while going in to a different center for chemo. And then back to dialysis again on Wednesday and so on and so forth. My Mom was by far the strongest woman I have ever met. She endured like that for 3 years before she lost her battle. But she fought so hard bc she wanted to be here for me and my sister and her precious grand baby, my daughter who was 5-8 years old while this was going on…she didn’t want to leave us alone she said. She wanted to stay. And oh how we wanted her to stay!! She lived with us and I will forever be thankful for the time we got to spend with her and her with us, especially her and my daughter together. They shares an unspeakable bond. But it was Hard. But even at her sickest moments, she still was only worried about us. She still was tending to us. 2 days before she died she was standing at the kitchen sink doing the dishes. The poor woman could barely stand!! We begged her not to sit down and not worry about it but she said it was just something she had to do. And that it comforted her to do that one last thing for us. God knows I wish I would have done better. I wish I would have taken her to every dialysis and chemo appt instead of her having to take the little handicapped bus. I wish I would have sat with her and held her hand the entire time she was getting her treatment. Like where the Fuck was I that was more important than being there with her? I wish I would have been nicer to her. I wish I would have been more thoughtful and less self seeking, I wish I would have paid her more attention and spoken to her more gently. I wish I would have listened to what she was actually saying and picked up on the little things she wanted or needed. Bc my Mom would never ask for anything. She was always worried about all of us. The one thing the she made very clear to me, the one thing she was the most terrified of, was me putting her in hospice or a convalescence home. That was her biggest fear. To be separated from me and my sister and my daughter in a cold and foreign place. And out of all the wrongs I have done in my life, praise Jesus that I saw to it that she never went to a place like that. She stayed with us until the end. I had made the promise to her, and I kept it. I looked her in the eyes and told her thst as long as their was breath in my body, I would not let her be separated from us. She put her faith in me and I kept my word. Praise Jesus!!! In all the world, a daughter never loved her mother as much as I loved you Mom….as much as I still do….✝️💟🙏
Y T Comment Police no I know. They don't want him to see his donor on tv. Cause he had pictures there. They want him to see him in person and not on pictures.
This is so awesome!! The fact this young man is only 19 and stepped up to do this to save someone’s life is unimaginable. He is going to do some great things with his life and his huge heart. When they hugged I just started crying immediately.
I don't know about they blind fold and not hearing part. It was indeed weird. Maybe they really wanted to become a surprise when the door opens to who it was behind that door that donate the kidney. And for the parents I was also thinking the same thing. But I thought about it a little longer and maybe the parents are emotionally drained by losing their daughter and having to suffer (emotionally) with their son in the hospital waiting and suffering.
@@acacius9903 Exactly, they had to listen to the story about their daughter, which was presented in a way to make the audience more emotionally attached to the story, whilst being filmed and interviewed. Only a month earlier they found out that their son who was literally dying before their eyes over 2 years would get surgery, then it takes another two weeks I believe to know for certain whether the kidney will be accepted by the body or rejected. Thennn they find out they can meet the donor who saved their son's life but it will be on tv. Talk about emotionally draining few years and then an overwhelming month.
@@arrow5726 I assume that they didn't want him to see a photo of the donor, which was being shown on the tv screen in the studio. It would have ruined the surprise.
Thought it was obvious? They didnt want him to see or hear the doner who was being shown on those clips in studio. Wanted it to be surprise when he came out.
I pray The Lord blesses Abraham a lot because what he did is so brave and considerate. He is really a caring dude. The world would be so much nicer if there were a few more people like him.
I only have one kidney due to kidney disease, I wish I had two so I could donate too, I hope both boys have many many years of friendship, unity and health!!💖
every single time cris talked i cried , I just never really thought much about other children and their struggles and now i really really want to help to 😔😭💕
My mother has Lupus and until I watched this I really had no idea exactly how bad it could be. She honestly is always so strong and beautiful a real queen.
Abraham is awesome. Best wishes and respect. To be 19 and do this? At 19 kids are preoccupied with other things other than saving lives. Hats off to you.So happy for all of you. Stay Blessed everyone. 😊❤️
I cannot imagine deciding at the age of 19 to give up a perfectly good, working kidney to help someone else live. I cannot even understand that thought process. Abraham is an incredible soul who deserves the most out of life. I only wish this had been on Ellen so that he could have gotten a scholarship or something although I know he did it for purely selfless reasons.
