Two of her siblings need new kidneys, but she can only donate one...

Mollie Walsh had to make a heart-wrenching choice last year, a decision no one would want to face.

Two of her adult siblings suffered from kidney failure, both enduring energy-draining dialysis sessions as they waited for a kidney that could give them a new lease on life.

But Walsh could only help one of them.

She finally gave one of her kidneys to her critically ill brother, who had lost both lower legs and part of the fingers on one hand to the ravages of renal disease.

His health and his spirits have rebounded.

Her older sister still waits for a new kidney. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Jobless Spaniards selling kidneys...
  2. British crunch victims selling kidneys to pay off debts...
  3. The 'Jigsaw Kid' ... with five spleens, back-to-front liver...
  4. He wants back the kidney that he donated to his wife!!!
  5. The woman who looked after the man who was in a coma for seven years...
