This story is sad, yet with some hope thrown in.
What's so striking is that the boy offered to donate a kidney before he died, although his mom said no. His grandmother herself "was paralyzed decades ago when she was struck by a stray bullet."

At Chicago Tribune, "Slain teen's kidney donated to ailing grandmother."
