NEW PORT RICHEY, FL -
Facebook is usually a place you go to find friends, but a New Port Richey woman went on the social media site to find a kidney.

Christine Curti, 50, needed a transplant after she was born with only one kidney. Across the country, in San Diego, CA, Valerie Maupin, 24, wanted to donate a kidney to her friend's mother, but learned that she wasn't a match.

"I had 6 people either tested or reviewed and they were all turned down for one reason or another," Curti said.

Eager to donate, Maupin searched Facebook and contacted a group dedicated to finding kidneys for those in need.
