Regarding the feature on Debbie Barratt giving her neighbour a kidney (June 13).
I too have been lucky enough to have received a new kidney, in October last year, from an unknown donor and I know how much it has meant.
I am pleased the gentleman's transplant was a success.
His donor is very special.
Not everyone can take on such a task, but most people can carry a donor card or go on the organ donor register. Please do, you could help lots of people in desperate need.
