Wenrich was tested in May and learned in September that she was a match. This month, Wenrich surprised Labecki, a big Penn State Nittany Lions fan, at his home while wearing the Penn State University mascot uniform.

During the surprise, Weinrich had a series of cue cards that revealed she was giving Labecki one of her kidneys.

After showing the final card, the two shared a tearful embrace. The surgery is scheduled for Oct. 26.

\"I think I'm prepared and knowledgeable and know what to expect,\" Weinrich said. \"Luckily my work and my family has been really supportive. George [Labecki] and I became instant friends. I think we are going to be a really big part of each other's lives.\"

Labecki said he can never repay Wenrich for giving him this gift, but hopes to keep her close to his family.

\"She's an amazing person, I love her to death,\" he said, \"I've been so thrilled to get to know her.\"
