“Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous”
We are not machines, that is obvious, but we are not unlike them. We have limits to which we can push ourselves to and parts that can get wore down, broken and will need to be replaced. However there is not always a ready made part to order in.
The family of Suraiya Ahmed, who badly needs a kidney transport, have taken to placing an advert in a shop window in Edinburgh in the hopes of finding a donor.
Mrs Ahmed is currently in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary has six months to find a kidney after suffering failure when seven months pregnant. Despite having only 7% kidney function, she gave birth by caesarean section on Easter Sunday.
Her family are incredibly worried, as is to be expected, but are hopeful that a donor can be found.
I think if there was a way to give of ourselves to those close to us, we would. It can seem vulture like as there is a wait for a donor or someone to pass away, who has a donor card but there are good people out there who are willing to help others.
Hopefully they will find a donor for Mrs Ahmed and she will be able to be reunited with her first child Liyana. It is a big thing to give of yourself, in this case it is paramount.
