Natalie Cole’s sister has offered to donate her own kidney to help save the ailing music legend’s life.

Natalie, 58, has been treated for kidney failure since being diagnosed with Hepatitis C in July 2008. During a lengthy hospitalization last September, the Grammy-winning singer was told that she would need a kidney transplant.

Natalie’s younger sister Timolin, 47, was tested in secret, and has been declared a match.
Cole is currently too weak to undergo surgery, but doctors are reportedly building up her strength so they can carry out the organ swap in February

A source tells The National Enquirer, “After (she learned of the match), Natalie kept saying, ‘I can’t believe this! I’m so blessed. My sister’s giving me a tomorrow. She’s saving my life.’”
