WARREN -- A woman found a kidney for her husband by posting on Facebook. 

The Detroit News reports Roxy Kurze was desperate to find a kidney for her 35-year-old husband, Jeff.  Doctors at the Beaumont Hospital told the couple they needed to find a donor soon.

It was then that Roxy went onto Facebook, and asked for a miracle.  Ricky Cisco, from the Royal Oak area, was the answer to her prayer.

The Detroit News reports that Ricky was a match, and was so touched by the cry for help, that he decided to sacrifice a kidney to help out his Facebook friends.

The Associated Press reports the transplant was successfully performed on March 30.
