Mr. Ricardo Medeiros was waiting for a new kidney for more than 9 years.

The family managed to notify the doctors and give them his whereabouts. The firefighters were called and Mr. Medeiros was rescued and taken by helicopter to the city of Juiz de Fora, state of Minas Gerais, and finally got his new organ.
