About three years ago, my aunt was in a serious car accident. All of her major organs were damaged, and the only way to save her life was a transplant but no donor could be found.
After being in a coma for thirty days she died, leaving behind her two young children. It made me realise the seriousness of the donor shortage in our country and also the entire world.
I began reading everything I could find on the subject, wanting to know more. Finally, I asked my parents to allow me to become a donor. They asked me to think about my decision but I knew it was what I wanted to do. I sat down with my mother one day and gave her all the reasons I wanted to become a donor.
She finally allowed me to register as a donor, and she registered too. I decided to tell my story because I want to let everyone know that no matter who you are YOU can make the difference!
