Candice

MEET CANDICE, mom, partner, healthcare professional and living kidney recipient."My mom gave me life twice, and in turn, gave me the ability to become a mother, and create life"At the age of 24 Candice had a crash start onto hemodialysis with no prior knowledge of kidney disease, which halted her dreams of getting her degree and travelling the world. Months later, Candice switched the peritoneal dialysis while her mother was being assessed to be her kidney donor. They got the call that they were a match and on 09/09/09 at 9am, Kim successfully donated her kidney to Candice, giving her life twice. In 2021, Candice and her husband welcomed a healthy baby girl into their lives.  What has her mother's gift of organ donation done for Candice? It's given her life.Ordinary people are capable of doing extraordinary things. Whether it's stepping forward as a living donor, registering as a deceased donor, donating blood or spreading awareness...YOU are capable of taking a brave action. You can not only change a life...you can save a life.
