Martha Romo, age 56, unwraps a bandage from her arm, concealing prick marks from the needles used during dialysis, in Calexico, CA. Romo was born with only one kidney, which has since begun to fail, causing Romo to undergo dialysis since August, 2013. Her daughter, Martha Cosgalla, age 31, has decided to donate one of her healthy kidneys to her mother at Sharp Memorial Hospital, through the Living Donors program.
