Last year I posted this plea and despite many friends and a few kind strangers coming forward, sadly they were incompatible.
Niall Wainwright's situation has now become absolutely desperate and we are asking/pleading, for anyone to step forward if they are considering becoming a kidney donor, or to share this post as it might reach somebody who is able to donate.
I am so inspired by how Niall has taken all of this in his stride, especially to be facing such a traumatic and abrupt change of lifestyle at only 32 years old.
I know that there is somebody out there who can help transform his life back to normal. I just need us all to share this post and hope it lands on their feed. ❤️
Niall is on 10 hours dialysis every night, which is only going to increase. He needs 3x weekly iron injections which are self administered, takes 16 pills daily and has a monthly iron infusion at hospital. This is just to stay alive. But the side effects also mean he is at risk of a stroke or heart attack. It's a double edged sword.
Chances of a transplant from a deceased donor are less than 11% in year 1, this without even knowing it could be a match. Niall is in year 2 and the clock is ticking.
Chances are, he will die waiting.
We would, of course, compensate you for loss of earnings during your recover time and any expenses for appointments etc. The number to call to be tested is 01142715983, this is the Sheffield Transplant Team, we aren't able to call on your behalf.
Please help. I am asking anyone who would like to help to please share this message with all their friends and family and any platform that you may have a presence.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions and thank you for taking the time to read this! ❤️
