“Now they’re fighting the biggest fight of their whole lives and they’re helping each other with this precious gift.”

This is a great story about brotherhood among the marines. But, the statement that they are helping each other is a bit misleading. It seems to me that the donor is the one who is helping and the other one is receiving help. Never-the-less, giving a kidney does have some great effects on your life too. It’s not all negative. Prayers of friends and strangers are very powerful, and the knowledge that you are relieving someone you care for of a lifetime of dialysis (which is not a day in the park), can be so rewarding.
