It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The holiday season is here. 2020 has been full of many challenges. North Elementary PTA was able to gift each child that attends our school a BRAND NEW pair of pajamas & socks. We would like to thank our many sponsors and also a HUGE thank you to Kent State University East Liverpool campus for donating NEW books to each student! The generosity of everyone in our community has been wonderful & greatly appreciated. We hope everyone has a safe & healthy holiday season. (Submitted photo)

When a stranger contacted Nikki Fraschieri on Facebook offering to donate her a kidney, Fraschieri didn t expect it to amount to anything.
Fraschieri, 30, of Carrollton, had gotten numerous similar messages over the last two years from people expressing an interest in donating, but they usually stopped replying or found they weren t a medical match.
It was different with Sharon Matthews, 55, of Dellroy. At first I was like, It s just another person, Fraschieri said. But she was very, very persistent.
As Matthews began the process to find out if she could become a donor, she regularly updated Fraschieri on the progress. Months went by as the two remained in contact. In October, they learned Matthews was a needed match.
