Funding a kidney transplant

A former member of St John's, Naomi Michuki, is appealing for funds to enable her to have a kidney transplant in India. Her prolonged wait for a suitable donor has been hampered by a chronic shortage of back and ethnic minority donors. Black and Asian transplant patients often have to wait twice as long for suitable donors. Last year 60 people died while waiting for donors. Naomi needs to raise £20,000 and is well on the way to doing so but still needs more donations to reach her target.
