Mob Boss's Daughter Gets New Life From Son's Kidney
25 Nov
Summary
- Victoria Gotti will receive a kidney transplant from her eldest son.
- The transplant is scheduled for the upcoming weeks in New York City.
- Over 90,000 people are currently on the national kidney transplant waiting list.
Victoria Gotti, daughter of the late mob boss John Gotti, is preparing for a crucial kidney transplant in the coming weeks at NYU Langone Health in New York City. Her eldest son, Carmine Gotti Agnello, has been medically cleared and will serve as her living donor.
This act of generosity from Carmine, who insisted on being the donor, is seen by Victoria as a "brand-new life." Gotti, 63, has a history of health issues, including heart valve problems and a recent diagnosis of chronic kidney disease over the summer.
Organ donation remains a significant challenge, with around 90,000 people on the national kidney transplant waiting list. While deceased donors are common, waiting times can be lengthy, underscoring the value of living donors like Carmine for a more immediate and potentially less complicated transplant.
