Parton filmed a special video message asking for the public's help. In it, she praised her longtime friend.

“Jerry and I have been friends for several decades now and he’s one of the finest people in the whole world,” Parton says. “As the holiday season is upon us, one of my wishes is for a new kidney for Jerry. I am not a suitable donor but in the spirit of giving, please go to PublicGood.com/FloodSisters and see how you can help. Please do because he’s so sweet and precious! ”

This is such an amazing story, and given Parton's reputation for being an all-around good person, we're not at all surprised that she's stepped up to help someone close to her. We hope her efforts find a donor that's a suitable match for her friend.
