Ana Moaksom, 16, was told at age four she would need a kidney transplant after infections left her organs scarred. At 16 years old her health began to decline, and doctors said they would search for a donor.
About to face her GCSE exams, Ana had little energy and was struggling. Her mother Amanda, 48, decided to donate a kidney so her daughter could concentrate on revising. Despite both suffering complications following the operation, they have recovered. Ana is now eagerly awaiting her exam results, and hopes to start a business course in the autumn. Ana said: 'I can't thank mum enough. She has given me the chance to lead a normal life; my energy levels have risen and I am looking forward to enjoying my summer off with the family.'
