This is weirdly similar to this other letter, which makes me wonder if one or both might be fake
DEAR ABBY: My niece "Alyssa," an only child, is on the kidney transplant list. When I had my DNA tested, I learned that my brother had fathered another child. The information and facts this woman ("Bree") has provided ring true and are very believable. I have no doubt Bree is his daughter.
Unfortunately, my irresponsible brother turned his back on this daughter. Bree does not want to pursue a relationship with him or with me. She did have some questions related to health issues because she has children of her own. My brother and I haven't spoken for 10 years, mainly because of how poorly he treated our late parents. Should I continue to honor Bree's request, or tell her about her half-sister who needs the transplant? -- INVOLVED AUNT IN FLORIDA
DEAR AUNT: If you think it might help Alyssa, inform Bree about Alyssa's need for a kidney transplant. There is, however, no guarantee that Bree's kidney would be a match. Do not be surprised if Bree responds negatively (or not at all), considering her lack of a relationship with her father or the rest of your family. I wish you luck on your search.
