The Mirror reports that 30-year-old Colleen Le from the US offered to give her lover one of her kidneys as he had chronic kidney disease.
The problem with his kidneys started when he was 17, and he was informed that his kidney would function at less than five per cent.

After finding that she could viably donate her organ, she underwent the procedure, and they both made a full recovery.
Cheated on and dumped
However, their relationship changed seven months after the procedure when the devoted Christian said he was going to Las Vegas for a bachelor party with church friends.
When he returned, he admitted to cheating on her during the trip.
"A lot of arguments later, I eventually forgave him and gave him a second chance," Colleen said.
However, three months later, he dumped her.
"If we are meant for each other, God will bring us back together in the end," he reportedly told her.
Her video garnered over 2 million likes on TikTok, with a majority of the people empathising with her.
Man dumped after donating kidney
Similarly, Briefly News reported that a Mexican man narrated how he was dumped months after donating a kidney to his girlfriend’s mother.
Through a series of TikTok videos, Uziel Martinez said he had heroically stepped up to save the life of his ex’s mother.
However, she left him shortly after and married another man.
"I donated a kidney to her mother, she left me and got married a month later," he said.
After going viral, Martinez asserted that he had no bone to pick with her by saying:
“I’m fine, I’m fine emotionally, and I think so is she. I have nothing against her. We are on good terms.”
Martinez talked about the nightmare breakup as part of a TikTok trend in which men recounted their worst experiences with exes.
