Local woman gifts veteran a kidney - Jacksonville, Duval County

Jacksonville, Fla. — A Middleburg woman is being called a hero. She gave a piece of herself to save the life of a veteran battling kidney disease.

Fawna Moore donated a kidney to Vicki Beecher after learning about a program that matches donors with veterans in need.

The surgery was done at the Mayo Clinic last week.
