Kathleen went into renal failure shortly after giving birth to baby Saoirse in August 2012. She commenced home haemodialysis in November of 2013 and almost immediately her mother put herself forward for living donation and was told she was a suitable donor in January 2014. Both mother and daughter have returned to work and Kathleen has said that the transplant has made a huge difference to her quality of life. The family are just one example of a happy ending from organ donation as the Irish Kidney Association urge people to carry an organ donor card in their wallet. For more details, visit www.ika.ie.
