Dear Donor Family,

I am writing to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful and amazing gift you have given me and my family—most importantly, my children who need their mother. You have given me another chance in life, something I did not think I was going to get before the day I got the call. It was a bittersweet moment for me. I knew someone had lost their life to give me life again, and for that I will forever be thankful.

I had been on PD for over 6 years. It was hard at first being a single mother of children and on dialysis, but within time, I learned to accept that that would be my life for the rest of my life, but then you gave me the most precious gift.

Thank you again from my family, children and me.
