In the summer of 2014, 11-year-old Diego told his mother, Lupita, that he wanted to go to summer camp; however, she was concerned about his health. Lupita took Diego to a specialist, who gave him the devastating news that Diego's kidneys were only functioning at 12 percent. He started dialysis immediately and was added to the transplant waiting list.
In mid-August 2015, Lupita received the call she had been waiting for: the call telling her that there was a gift of life available for Diego.
"It was a great happiness to receive the call, but at the same time it made us very sad to know that a family was suffering the loss of their loved one," Lupita said.
The unconditional generosity of the donor and their family gave new life to Diego, who can now go back to school and play football and baseball as much as he wants.
