This #MothersDay I think of a special lady,a lady I havenβt met but because she said yes to #organdonation when her son passed away, I live.
Thinking of my donorβs Mum today & may she be given comfort from knowing that by saying yes she allowed life to live on.π@NHSOrganDonor

Appreciate no one knows whatβs going on in someone elseβs life but when dealing with the public always good to make an effort unlike @Tesco delivery driver who was not in the Christmas spirit, but hope he does as deserves to with all he does, but still awaiting refund from him!

Pl join me in wishing Happy 18th Birthday to @ellachadwick1 . Itβs an absolute honour to have her as one of our 3 ambassadors at @share_wishes. A milestone for anyone is special but when you have had to fight for life these milestones are extra special.
Have a super celebration.

Happy 18th Birthday to our Ambassador Ella, who has had 2 kidney transplants .

Ellaβs mum Karen βTo go from being told prior to transplant that Ella would not be able to be transplanted, or even survive long enough to get to transplant to Ella turning 18 today is amazing.β

Off to @GSTTnhs & hope Kev the Kidney is doing well. Everyday I thank my donor & think of him, & his family & as I return to Guys the feelings I had when I received the call returns as uppermost in my thoughts was that family as we drove to London, & that continues to this day

This morning we shared Christyβs story and how she has a podcast called Chronically Christy which Christy runs as she waits for her third transplant.
A few weeks ago our founder Sarah sat down with Christy and had a chat about her life.

This #FathersDayΒ Β I think of a special man. A man I have not met. But because he said yes to #organdonation when his son sadly passed away I am alive. Thinking of my donorβs Father today & may he be given comfort from knowing that by saying yes he allowed life to live on.π

To sing such poignant songs arranged by @credmanlusher in front of families who saved lives just like a family saved mine was something truly special. The tears flowed as a special mention of the work @share_wishes do but all powered by the Gift of Life. βοΈπ
