Being a donor is wonderful gift ! The body functions fine with just one kidney. I donated a kidney over 20 years ago and have never had any problems. I will be praying for you and Jamal’s healing! This is what we are here to do, help one another ♥️♥️❤️♥️

Thanks for sharing. My husband donated his kidney to his daughter and said it was the best feeling ever that if he could he would do it again. He said he would absolutely do it for a stranger. You and my husband are amazing human beings.
Mandela Day: Generous man upgrades house for free, touches Mzansi
In a related article, Briefly News published that this year's Nelson Mandela Day was overshadowed by the violent riots and looting that engulfed the country last week but one family was not forgotten.
That is evident through a social media post on Facebook's #ImStayingPage.
The post tells the story of one lucky family who had their home refurbished free of charge. DeOnly Regte Bederf posted a number of photos showing the house before and after renovations.
@Beth Guthrie said: “What a lovely idea! Well done.”
