Dad donates kidney to stranger after daughter's transplant
A father has donated a kidney to A Stranger after his own daughter received her own life-changing kidney from a donor.
Arfon Jones , from Cardiff, joined a although he found he was not a match for daughter Seren, 19, who became seriously unwell and ended up having both kidneys removed.
He became a donor last month after she received a donor kidney in April.
" I felt that I had given someone a nice Christmas Present , " He Said .
After months of Seren being on dialysis for 10 hours every night, Arfon took an early Morning Call last April to say that a suitable kidney had become available.
" It's such a huge gift, " She Said .
" Without The Kidney I wouldn't be alive today, possibly, or I would certainly have had to continue with 10 hours of dialysis. "
Mr Jones said The Phone call was " amazing".
" They operated overnight and it has all changed Our Life completely. "
While Seren was awaiting a kidney, The Family came across the NHS's living donor scheme and, although Mr Jones was not a match, he felt compelled to help others.
He Said he did not know who had received his kidney but he understood that their health was improving.
" After Seren got her new kidney, she was told that I could get off The Living donor list and that's when I had a very strange experience, " said Arfon.
" It was As If I Heard a voice telling me 'there is Someone Else who needs your kidney' and I just felt that I had to stay on The List . "
He had the procedure in December and said: " It felt like I'd given someone quite a nice Christmas Present and it was nice to know that I'm healthy enough to donate a kidney given that I'm almost 70. "
