"I felt he was desperate, and then suddenly I thought why not I who helped him. And I felt it was like a destiny," said Buttigieg, as quoted by the Telegraph, Friday (12/30/2011).
Buttigieg serangakain had to undergo tests until finally the doctor gives the result that he could become a living donor for Viravong. The procedure of the donor kidney to Viravong Buttigieg took place in July 2011 at the Royal London Hospital and running smoothly.

"My life has not changed or become worse than before, but they certainly Viravong life has now changed for the better," he said.
Buttigieg said he was happy to do that, because he thinks Viravong is a mother and how if it happened to him or his brother.
