When Liffy heard about Destiny, she immediately wanted to help.
“What really stuck out to me was that Destiny was actually the same age as my own daughter,” she says.
“And I couldn’t imagine being in the same situation as Maria and Destiny and someone not wanting to help.”
A healthy donor, like Liffy, can lead a normal life on one remaining kidney – but it is a massive decision.
“It’s quite hard for people to get their heads round why I would donate my kidney to someone I’m not related to, to someone that I’ve not known for a huge amount of time and also someone that I’ve met online,” she says.
“If I was ever in the same situation, I’m 100% sure someone out there would do what I’m doing.
“You know, it’s not even something for me. I think it would mean the most to be being able to see Destiny grow up a healthier, happier little girl.
“That’s enough for me.”
Meanwhile, Maria says about Liffy: “She’s literally sent from heaven.
“She’s my guardian angel.”
