I was facing my own death as I was degrading so quickly. I couldn’t even shower without help. I was totally helpless.

It’s a very selfless act, to become a donor, and for the family to decide to go ahead with the donation... I definitely wouldn’t be here, were it not for a donor.

No matter how tough things get, I always remind myself to enjoy every extra day and make the most of this second chance.

Being on death’s door makes you realise you’re not going to live forever. You realise what’s important.

Words can’t express how grateful I am to that donor. They gave me nothing short of a second life.

"Words cannot express the gratitude I feel to the unintentional hero who saved my life, and kept my family together”. 

“I have someone else’s eye tissue and I will take care of it because it’s a gift. It’s a privilege to be given this because it makes a big difference in my life.”

I can’t thank that generous family enough for what it’s meant to my health and my family.

“By registering to be an organ donor, you’re not just saving one life, you could be saving 7 other lives.”

“The transplant gave me the ability to see things I couldn’t see before. It’s easy to take sight for granted. It literally opens your eyes to seeing things in a different way.”
