🩷 “Organ donation only works due to the generosity and bravery of donors and their families.”

Hilary Patel underwent a liver transplant at King’s College Hospital, under the care of Liver Transplant Surgeon, Professor Krishna Menon, in December 2015.

It was important to Hilary and her family that her donor’s family knew how grateful they were for the decision the donor and his family made.

They wrote to the donor’s family, via the hospital and NHS Blood and Transplant service. At the same time, the donor’s family had also wanted to share a bit more about their loved one. Hilary found out that her donor’s name was Chris; that he was a much-loved husband and father, and he had a desire for helping others, not only in life but also in death.

💗 Helen Wilson was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease in 2000, and as a result, both her kidneys were removed in 2006.

Helen’s brother offered to become a kidney donor, and the transplant went ahead in 2007.

Helen explained: “Thankfully, my amazing brother Steve stepped forward and donated one of his kidneys to me. My life was transformed by his amazing act of kindness; I wouldn’t be here without him.

“Unfortunately, in 2013, I discovered I had a polycystic liver and needed a second transplant. I was extremely lucky that a donor family gave me the chance of a new liver and gave me my life back once again.”

Helen spent a month recovering from the transplant surgery in intensive care at King’s, and her family was told her body may reject the liver. However, she has now made a full recovery.

She added: “Considering that at my worst I couldn’t walk very far, I’m now fitter than ever, and determined to make the most of life. Without my selfless donors, their families, and the amazing people who work at King’s, none of this would have been possible.”

Thank you, Helen, for sharing your story with us.
