Donor Angels - New Zealand

NZ Herald News | Cliff Taylor

They put their lives at risk, suffer pain and inconvenience so that they can donate part of their bodies to help save or improve the lives of others. Now, with New Zealand lagging behind in organ donations, Kiwis are being urged to sign up.

If Lisa Hardegger had any qualms about having a third of her liver cut out to save the life of a child, she had only to look at 2-year-old Jaya. The daughter of her friends Jono and Bex Robinson was dying. "She became very ill," says Hardegger. "She used to just sit on the couch and mooch, watching TV or cuddling her mum. Pretty much I knew she would definitely die without a transplant."
