A man who made a desperate online plea for a kidney donor is now recuperating from a successful transplant after a former work colleague answered the call.<\/p>\n

Jamie Lonsdale, 36, put the appeal out on Facebook and it was spotted by Lauren Lane, 30.<\/p>\n

Mr Lonsdale, from Monton, Greater Manchester, spent more than two years on the transplant list after his previously donated kidney started failing in 2022. <\/p>\n

“I was just expecting people to wish me well but to have Lauren come forward was just a dream come true,” he said<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dialysis four times a week and other complications had taken its toll before he begged for help.<\/p>\n

“It was totally unexpected and a huge ask and I was pretty embarrassed about having to post on Facebook but I was just so desperate,” Mr Lonsdale said.<\/p>\n

“It was quite a grim situation really. I wasn’t sure if I would get a call but felt like I had to do something.<\/p>\n

“Lauren has made a big sacrifice. She was fit and well and I was at the end of life.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Lonsdale continued: “I have got my life back for another 20 years at least.”<\/p>\n

Ms Lane, from Manchester, who is also recovering from the surgery, said: “We worked together for a few years and I went on to work for another company.<\/p>\n

“I just saw the appeal and felt I needed to do something.”<\/p>\n

The Phd student also said she had a personal reason for responding to the appeal.<\/p>\n

“My dad passed away in 2018. He was on the transplant list for a liver but sadly he didn’t get it in time,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I have been really lucky all of my friends and family understand my personal reasons for what I did.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
