SUMMARY: The narrator received a call from a nurse urging immediate action due to their sister’s end-stage kidney failure. Despite wanting to delay, they went straight to the emergency room, where their sister needed surgery and would eventually require a transplant. This experience was humbling and led to a year of dialysis and waiting for a transplant. The narrator felt it was their responsibility to help, and ultimately, fourth-grade teacher Ali Passmore donated her kidney to her sister. Upon visiting her after the surgery, the sister appeared tired but filled with joy, reflecting her excitement for the new chance at life.

SUMMARY: This year, over 1,200 provisional and absentee ballots were cast, but only 110 were counted due to issues like late registrations. The election commission certified the 2024 general election results, including a tied race at 57 votes, which will not advance further.

SUMMARY: Two nonprofits celebrated after the Little Rock Planning Commission paused developers’ plans to build housing in the Dunbar neighborhood, a historic African-American area. The Dumar Historic Neighborhood Association, led by Angel Bert, fought to preserve the area’s cultural significance, particularly after the demolition of a historic house. Developers proposed new homes to address the housing crisis, but Bert emphasized the irreplaceable value of the neighborhood’s history. The Commission voted to reject the proposal, but Bert’s advocacy continues, aiming to protect Dunbar’s legacy. The developer, Erica York of EY Custom Homes, was surprised by the resistance to her project.
