We have received a letter of thanks from one of Beth's recipients and hope this shows you how important organ donation is and the positive effect it can have

I am aged 52, married with two grown up children.

I received a kidney and liver.

Words cannot express my gratitude.

Thank you for making the decision to donate your loved ones organs.

Thank you seems inadequate for such a huge gift.

I have an illness called polycystic Kidney and Liver disease.

Multiple cysts grow on the liver and kidneys.

The Kidneys begin to fail.

The liver becomes huge.

I was in constant terrible pain.

I couldn’t eat properly and was becoming malnourished.

I was looking at starting dialysis within a year.

I was spending more and more time in hospital due to cyst bleeds and infections.

When I received the call from the transplant unit, I was shocked and scared.

I was also very sad as I was very aware a family had lost a loved one and were grieving.

The transplant has made a huge positive impact on my life.

I now have a future.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the wonderful and brave decision to donate.

I will cherish my new organs

Forever in your debt
