Harry Stokes, who turned 39 last week, is celebrating a 'new life' after his cousin donated her kidney to him, MyFoxAtlanta reported.

Stokes' kidneys were failing, causing him to suffer through dialysis three times a week for the past three years.

He was on the donor list, but his cousin Channon Weeks decided to step in and donate one of her kidneys to him instead.
