East Haven Woman Donates Kidney to Brother, Benefit Concert to Aid Costs

NEW HAVEN, CT - An East Haven woman is donating her kidney to her brother in need, the New Haven Register reported. A fundraiser will be held in New Haven this weekend to aid the family with expenses.

Jaquis Hornesburger, 24, received a kidney from a cadaver when he was 14 which has since failed, according to the New Haven Register. After being denied the chance to help her brother a decade ago, Deneisha Coles, 30, of East Haven will now act his donor. (To sign up for East Haven breaking news alerts and more, click here.)
