FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. — A Wake County assistant principal now has a new kidney, all thanks to one of the teachers at his school.

What You Need To Know

  • Assistant Principal Ernest Devane has suffered from kidney disease for a couple of years and was in need of a kidney transplant

  • Kristin Lundberg, a teacher at the same school, matched with Devane and was able to be a donor

  • The surgery was a success, and both are now recovering


Ernest Devane, the assistant principal at Fuquay-Varina Middle School, received a kidney last month from Kristin Lundberg, the school’s performing arts teacher.

Devane has suffered from kidney disease for the last couple of years and was looking for a donor.

Lundberg decided to test to see if she was a match and, luckily, she was. 

“I was blessed to have a person with a kidney match, my kidney, a direct match, right down the hall from me,” Devane said. 

“It’s all just kind of meant to be,” said Lundberg, who also shares a birthday with Devane. 

The successful surgery took place at the end of September. They are both recovering well.
