Durga and school custodian Pat Mertens started working at Kimball Elementary School in Kimball, Minnesota, in the same year, 2011. For the past nine years, their families have been well acquainted. Durga's children called Mertens"Papa" as they grew up in his wife's daycare. It was known at the school that Mertens was on dialysis, given that the 64-year-old left school for treatment three days a week.
"When I read the post from his daughter, I just got chills. I had a feeling it was going to be my something. I knew from that moment that I was going to be a match."Durga and Mertens underwent surgery on July 3. Mertens' wife, Lynda, shared the same feeling. The next day, Durga contacted Lynda to inform her of her plans to be a donor."She was sitting next to her daughter and she turned and said it's going to be Erin," Durga said."We both just knew.
