Isabelle

Meet Isabelle. Isabelle is a mother and a nurse. She was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and had to travel frequently from Thompson to Winnipeg more than an 8 hour drive away for monthly appointments. When Isabelle's living donor was unable to donate, Isabelle was devastated. But her sister Tamara stepped forward and in about a month they finished the workup and found out she was a great candidate to donate her kidney.  Isabelle believes this experience has helped her in her nursing career as she is able to talk to people and give them hope. Organ donors save lives, and give people a second chance at life.
