It's Time For The City To Come Together

So when I came across the story of a Killeen man by the name of Christopher Leiato, who is in need of a kidney, I knew I had to let the city know exactly what’s going on.

Christopher Leiato is a son, a loving uncle, and a brother who is simply asking the city of Killeen to do what they can with the information about his search for a new kidney. When I spoke with Christopher, he explained that he felt this was the perfect time to make this request, since this month is actually the month we recognize and celebrate kidney transplant awareness.
