Uber Driver Picks Man Up from Dialysis and Changes His Life
Every day, we encounter people who have the potential to change our lives forever, and we don’t even realize it. When Bill Sumiel Jr. called for an Uber ride in 2021, he had no idea his driver, Tim Letts, would be the answer to his prayers. Tim picked Bull up from his dialysis appointment, and the pair began a friendly chat. Bill mentioned his need for a kidney transplant and that he’d been on a list for years.
“The ride was fantastic,” Bill told Fox & Friends. “I met this gentleman. He talked back when you start [a] conversation. A lot of Uber drivers don’t. And so, it inspired me, by friendliness, to tell him about my situation.”
The story moved Tim so strongly that he decided to offer him a kidney of his own. The Uber driver turned into a kidney donor in a matter of moments.
“We got to my house. And Tim says, ‘If you’ll take my name and number, I’d like to donate a kidney to you.’” Bill recalled. “I was so nervous. I could hardly read his name and number.”

The Uber Driver and Passenger Were Compatible for Kidney Donation
Remarkably, Bill and his Uber driver were a perfect match, and Time donated his kidney to Bill.
Tim said he’d always considered becoming a donor, and this proved to be the perfect opportunity.
“I come from a relatively healthy bloodline. I’m pretty healthy,” he said. “So, I [didn’t] see that being much of a challenge.”
The Uber driver made a profound statement abouth is kidney donation journey.
“If a person like that can’t have somebody stand in their corner, then kind of what’s the point of it all?” Tim said. “Mahatma Gandhi says to ‘be the change you want to see in the world,’ and Maya Angelou says to ‘be a rainbow in someone’s cloud,’ and those things, they mean the world to me.”
