“The Gift That Keeps on Living”
Vincent La Padula – Magic, Meaning & One Kidney Less

From Homeless Addict
to Living Donor
and So Much More

There was a time when I had nothing — not even a place to sleep. Addiction had taken everything.

Then came the rebuild. I rose through the corporate ranks to become a Senior Vice President in financial services. But success didn’t mean I was finished growing.

I became a tech pastor for one of the largest churches in the country, helping others navigate their own pain and transformation.

And then, one day, I did something I never imagined — I gave away a kidney.

Through a paired donation program, I became a living donor for a man I had never met.

A year later, I met him — Join me as I revealed the story through a deck of cards, a few tears, and a whole lot of magic.
