[video presentation]

Phil Saviano and Susan Pavlak discuss details of their common bond - Catholic clergy sexual abuse and a kidney transplant operation in Boston in the summer of 2009. In this first video, Phil discusses details of his child sexual abuse, and also the health problems that resulted in him needing a kidney transplant. Susan heard of Phil's need for a transplant through an e-mail plea sent out by SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. Phil was a complete stranger to her at the time, but she nevertheless decided to offer him one of her kidneys. Learn more of Phil and Susan's stories in a related video clip, "OUTTAKES #2."
