“It’s a match” is a fitting way to put it, since the couple originally met on Tinder.
Lori Interlicchio recently surprised her girlfriend of two months, Alana Duran, with a big box of candy, Star Wars memorabilia, and other goodies. A standard girlfriend good deed, right?
But Duran had no clue that at the bottom of the box was the biggest surprise yet — a printed "it's a match" sign with the news that Interlicchio was going to be her much-needed kidney donor.

The printed card was fitting, considering the couple originally met on Tinder.
"A few dates [after meeting] we were talking about how long it takes to get a kidney in New York, and I learned we shared a blood type and decided to get tested," Interlicchio told BuzzFeed News. "We didn't actually start 'officially dating' until she was helping me fill out my donor history information to get tested. I got embarrassed because she saw that I put 'girlfriend' as my relationship to the recipient, but she happily agreed to be my girlfriend."
Interlicchio decided to not tell Duran the good news right away after she received the phone call informing her they had a match.
"I made a million and one excuses for why I hadn't found out the results yet, and I proceeded to have all of the other tests done secretly," Interlicchio said. Those other tests included a CAT scan, lab work, and a complete physical.
