Shortly after finding out that her teenage son’s kidneys had failed, Nadie Budwah learned that he would need a transplant in order to survive.
Naturally, both Budwah and her husband offered to be donors. However, Budwah said her husband fell ill and was unable to serve as the donor. As a result, Budwah said being the only option left, she offered to provide her kidney and about three weeks ago she was able to confirm via testing that will be able to provide the kidney for her son’s transplant.
“To be honest, I am not afraid for me but I am afraid for him. I am just praying for the kidney to accept and so on. But for me if anything happen to me, I am not really mindful. I just want to give my son a little bit longer life, let him see what life is and that’s about it,” Budwah told Sunday Stabroek.
