Anderson County Man Takes To The Streets In Search Of A Kidney

A man in Starr has been walking the streets to find a new kidney for his ailing wife.

Seeing a person walking the street with a sign in hand isn't that unique. 

When that sign expresses the carrier's interest in other people's internal organs, that's a different story. 

Larry Swilling told FoxCarolina.com that his wife, Jimmie Sue Swilling, has been on a waiting list for a new kidney, but in that until one is found, he's doing his part by walking the streets of the Upstate with a sign that says "Need Kidney 4 Wife."
