My story

 Read about the experiences of both who needed a transplant and those who chose to donate.

Needless to say

I was overjoyed at the news that a match had been found in the United States of America! In December 2004 I received that special “Gift of Life” transplant and with the grace of God are now on my road to recovery.

Making the most of her life
