After they both received heart transplants, Taylor Givens and Collin Kobelja recovered in adjacent rooms, unaware that the other existed. They had no idea that their live-saving procedures in June 2011 would give them a new chance at life — and the chance for love.
“All of the things that fell into place for us to be together are wild. Everything has happened exactly as it needed to happen,” Givens, 24, told TODAY.
Kobelja, 30, agreed.
“We have been very lucky together,” he said. “It all lined up.”
Thanks to organ donation, Collin Kobelja and Taylor Givens are happy to live “normal lives.”
