Assumption school eighth-grader in urgent need of kidney #Catholic – A Morristown, N.J.,  family is desperately seeking a living kidney donor for their son, an eighth-grade student at Assumption School. Thaddeus Giansanti was born with kidney disease and has undergone multiple surgeries including one to remove a non-functioning kidney when he was an infant.
