A friendship between two Prudential employees leads to a lifesaving, one-of-a-kind match.
Brooke Herbst didn’t know how she’d do it. Somehow, though, she had to figure out a way to help her coworker and friend Jennifer Wood.
It all started during a Microsoft Teams call between colleagues in Prudential’s Individual Life Marketing group last year — on a BAU team that nicknamed itself the “Bad A** Unicorns.” Wood shared some devastating news about her health: Her kidneys were failing.
“I thought I was going to die. I was so terrified I wasn’t going to be able to see my son grow up,” Wood says.
Herbst’s response was reassuring: “I’ll be your unicorn. Everything will be OK.”
In the weeks and months that followed, Herbst would personally deliver on that promise in ways she never imagined.
