00:00--:--

We're going to hear the story now of an unusual friendship. Susan Pavlak and Phil Saviano share two things. One is a kidney -- Susan donated hers to Phil last summer. The other is a history of childhood abuse at the hands of clergy. Susan Pavlak lives in St. Paul and Phil Saviano lives in Massachusetts. And, in a story that illustrates the power of social networking, the two only met because of their shared trauma.
