An Arizona firefighter gave her husband — a fellow firefighter — one of her kidneys after he developed complications from a rare kidney disease.

Junior Coleman, a firefighter with the Surprise Fire-Medical Department, first noticed something seemed off in the spring of 2025 when he began experiencing constant fatigue and blurry vision, according to AZFamily.com.

Coleman, 30, assumed something was off — but he never imagined the symptoms were the first signs of a rare kidney disease that would eventually leave him in stage 5 kidney failure. He was placed on dialysis three times a week and told he would ultimately require a kidney transplant.

“We’re healthy. We’re fit. We work out all the time. You never expect something like this to happen,” his wife, Maddy Geer, a firefighter with the Phoenix Fire Department, said while speaking to the outlet.

Geer, 29, went on to say that she immediately got tested to see if she was

“Ever since he got diagnosed with it, I was like, ‘If I’m a match, it’s meant to be because I’m going to give you my kidney,’ ” she recalled.

The test confirmed that she was a compatible donor, and the couple underwent transplant surgery on July 16.

They are now recovering together at their home in Surprise, according to the outlet.

Looking back, Coleman said his diagnosis was most surprising given the fact that he receives regular physicals for his job in emergency rescue.

“What really threw us for a loop though is the fire department does very thorough physicals and nothing was caught with my blood pressure,” he said.

“Blood pressure was good when I was going into my doctor’s meetings, but it was like at night, my blood pressure was just going out of control. So, that’s what the scary part is,” he added.
