Boy, 5, expresses desire to donate kidney to dying mom

A 5-year-old boy from Chaozhou, Guangdong province, recently phoned a local hospital to enquire about the procedure to donate his kidney to his bedridden mother, who suffers from uremia.

The boy, who needs a stool to reach the stove, has been cooking for his mother for months since his father left for another city to work.
