Here’s a story that will restore your faith in humanity, coming straight from an unexpected place – a Hooters restaurant in Roswell, Georgia. But this isn’t your typical tale of wings and beer. No, this is a story about Mariana Villarreal, a Hooters waitress who took customer service to an unprecedented level.
Mariana was serving Don Thomas, a regular customer who visited the establishment more for comfort than food. Don had lost both his kidneys to cancer and was facing a life tied to a dialysis machine. His wife too had been claimed by the deadly disease.
Despite only knowing Don as her customer, when Mariana learned about his dire situation, she made an incredible offer. She offered him one of her kidneys. As she put it, “I have two kidneys; do you want one of mine?” Now that’s what I call a special offer!
You might wonder why Mariana would make such a huge sacrifice for someone she barely knew. It turns out, Mariana’s own grandmother had died of kidney failure. In Don, she saw a chance to spare someone else the pain that her family had gone through.
The kidney transplant was successful and both Mariana and Don are recovering well. Dr. Harrison Pollinger, one of the program directors of the Piedmont Transplant Institute, assures us that we only need one kidney for normal function. So while Mariana can lead a normal life, she has given Don a chance to do the same.
This inspiring story from a Hooters restaurant in Georgia is a testament to the extraordinary capacity for human kindness and the impact we can have on each other’s lives. It’s not what you’d expect from a bar and grill, but it’s a tale that deserves to be shared.
Mariana and Don hope their journey will inspire others to consider organ donation. Because it’s not every day that you get a serving of life-saving generosity with your chicken wings and curly fries.
So here’s to Mariana, who served up hope along with hot wings, demonstrating that sometimes, the most extraordinary gifts come in the most unexpected places.

Why is it always a Democrat that interviews a Democrat? Now, in this case – we know before the debate Biden was given all the questions and probably answers. Then, we hear Jill whispering answers into his ear with a device. I don’t know how we prove that because the Bidens won’t tell you the truth. Then, we hear he didn’t go to the doctor after the debate, then we hear he did go. Why don’t the Democrats get on the same page before they lie?
How many others in services, retail would do same
Awesome Thanks Hooters
What an incredible story of kindness!!!!! A waitress who has experienced the loss of a loved one uses her heartbreak to save others from experiencing that same heartbreak. What she did for Don’s family surpasses what she did for Don in my book!!!!!
