Susan Vieira vows not to waste the second chance on life a 21-year-old nursing student’s tragic death was able to give her.
Kristina Chesterman was a 21-year-old nursing student attending California State University. She was hit by a drunk driver a block from her home in Chico, Calif., on September and pronounced brain dead. Kristina was an organ donor.

And that allowed Kristina to give five people a second chance. Two babies received parts of her liver, a family friend got a kidney, and 64-year-old Susan Vieira received her heart.
The same September when Kristina lost her life, Bay Area resident Susan Vieira got a call. She was in congestive heart failure and had been on the transplant list since July. She never thought they'd find a donor.
After she was released from the hospital, Susan began searching for the Chestermans. She found them on Facebook, and last week met with Kristina's mother, Sandra, for the first time.
