A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR WILLIAM DANIEL HANCOCK's 
remarkable selflessness in donating a kidney to save the life of DOUGLAS LYNN 
GANT, AND TO COMMEMORATE THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD IN BRINGING TO FRUITION A PLAN 
OF HEALING AND HOPE.

Whereas, in 1992, Douglas 
Gant was diagnosed with a serious kidney disease that would ultimately require 
a transplant for him to live. Later that same year, William Hancock was born, 
beginning a life that would one day intersect with Mr. Gant's in a profound and 
life changing way; and

Whereas, on December 4, 
2024, Mr. Hancock selflessly donated one of his kidneys to Mr. Gant, giving the 
gift of life and hope, and marking a day that will forever be remembered as the 
culmination of years of prayer, faith, and divine orchestration; and

Whereas, Mr. Hancock's act of 
sacrifice reflects the highest ideals of compassion and service, reminding all 
citizens of the profound impact that one individual's generosity can have on 
another's life. His example of charity and civic duty stands as a model for the 
people of South Carolina, demonstrating how personal sacrifice can strengthen 
communities, inspire hope, and embody the values of faith and fellowship; and

Whereas, their story 
serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of 
compassion, and the enduring belief that God's timing is perfect; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate finds it fitting to recognize this remarkable journey as an 
inspiration to all citizens of the Palmetto State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor William Daniel Hancock's remarkable selflessness in 
donating a kidney to save the life of Douglas Lynn Gant, and to commemorate the 
faithfulness of God in bringing to fruition a plan of healing and hope.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to William Daniel Hancock.
