New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg recently shared a heartwarming story about a fan who received a life-saving kidney transplant from another fan. The incredible tale showcases the power of social media and fandom, as one fan’s sign at a concert led to another fan donating her kidney to save a life. Wahlberg marveled at the impact of social media, highlighting how the platform can be used for good. While the details of the story were not fully disclosed, the incident echoes a similar event back in August 2023 when Orange County teacher Theresa Crockett found a kidney donor after attending a New Kids on the Block concert. Crockett, who suffers from polycystic kidney disease, saw her sign at the show acknowledged by Wahlberg, who gave her the support she needed to find a donor. Fellow fan Christina Meyer from Wisconsin stepped up to offer her kidney to Crockett, highlighting the powerful bond among New Kids on the Block fans. The heartwarming tale of fandom, support, and selflessness serves as a reminder of the positive impact music can have on people’s lives.
