Baby....baby...baby. Now with pictures

Post by rheaybou »

On Saturday the 20th of September I became a dad for the first time to a beautiful baby girl called Olivia.

This was only possible due to my donors special gift, he is and will continue to be a very important part of my life and I hope an inspiration to others looking to donate via the living donor option.

organ donors are so important and the work I have seen done by organ recipients to help raise awareness for others is amazing, spread the word. #LLGL

congratulations to you also, I never knew how noisy they could be and spend most of the night jumping out of bed for every gurgle and moan, never been so tired - not even on dialysis - but wouldn't change it for the world
