NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — I'm following up this morning about a little boy I first brought you as My Hero in May of this year.
Now 4-year-old Everett Drewes was a child ambassador for Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Steeplechase this year as he continues to manage a rare disease.
Everett has Eagle-Barrett Syndrome. He is living without any kidneys at all. Last summer, his father donated one of his kidneys to him on his third birthday, but sadly it failed.
Everett needs your help. Doctors say he is healthy enough to get a new kidney.
If you or someone you know is interested, you need to have type A or Type O blood, be 18 to 55 years old and be in good health.
If this is something you're interested in go to Vanderbilt Health and search for the "Living Donor Interest Form."

Happy Birthday to the YMCA of Middle TN. They just celebrated their 150th anniversary! A lot has changed with the Y over the years. I have personally seen some of that firsthand when I was a long-time board member at the Northwest Family Y and part of their Black Achievers Program. Forrest Sanders has a look back.
