‘Without kidney donor, I might never have had my son’

A YOUNG woman, who had a life-changing transplant after receiving a kidney donated by the family of a man who was stabbed to death, is celebrating having her first baby.

Vienna White, 29, was leading a perfectly normal life up until 2006 when she had a sudden kidney failure after a routine test.

“I was completely shocked because I hadn’t shown any symptoms beforehand. I was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure and I only had 8% kidney function before I had dialysis,” she revealed.
