Tim Letts got talking to Bill Sumiel while driving for Uber.
  • An Uber driver donated a kidney to one of his passengers after talking during a ride, 6abc reported.
  • Army veteran Tim Letts offered his kidney to Bill Sumiel after he opened up about his situation.
  • Sumiel said Letts' offer "floored me" and he felt "so fortunate" to have the gift of life. 

Some Uber drivers like to talk to their passengers, and some prefer to concentrate on the road. Bill Sumiel will be forever grateful that his driver fancied a chat on a journey one day in 2021. 

He'd been to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware for a dialysis appointment, 6abc Action News reported.
