Introduction
Hello,
My name is Naomi, and I plan to share my experiences on this, my journey, to find and hopefully receive a Kidney from a suitable Organ Donor. I plan to speak openly and honestly about all aspects of my journey. The impact it's had on me, my life, my children and wider family. Plus, how I focus on getting through each day, as I navigate and come to terms with the life-changing reality of Organ Donation, supported in part by the processes put in place by the NHS and other Health Organisations.
I hope by telling my story, it will in some way help others going through the same thing, and ultimately raise awareness within the wider community about the lack of Organ Donors in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) UK.
You can drop me a message either via Twitter @Naomi_My_Story or HERE I love reading all of your messages of encouragement.
If you are moved by my story and want to get more involved, please consider doing one of the following two things:
1. Registering to become an Organ Donor here: https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/ if you do, be sure to let me know!
New registrations give me a boost!
2. If you want to help me directly by being tested to see if you could donate, you will need to be aware of the following:
- Firstly, I am BLOOD TYPE O-NEGATIVE it's important you know this in advance to be considered for a possible direct donation.Failing that, an indirect donation is still a possibility. Please still get in touch using the below...
- Secondly, please complete THIS FORM and someone will get back to you to move things forward.
AGAIN, THANK YOU!
