When you think about the definition of a hero, what comes to mind? For us, that’s people helping people. When people make a difference in other people’s lives. Belmont Cameli, you are a hero for this act. Cameili once donated his kidney to save a childhood friend.
Finding an organ match is quite difficult. His friend needed a kidney after suffering from kidney failure and would soon be on dialysis. The actor was part of an organ donation chain to make sure that his best friend got the help that he needed.
On his Instagram he had posted about the event in his and his friends’ lives.
“Yesterday I was blessed with the opportunity and privilege to save a life. The fact of the matter is that most of us have two good kidneys, but thousands of people struggle to live day to day with only one failing kidney. Every day, 20 people die waiting for a kidney transplant. It takes patients an average of 3.5 years on the waitlist before receiving a transplant, and that is only IF they are so fortunate. Thankfully, after 6 years of strenuous waiting and anticipation, Brendan has been gifted the organ he has so long awaited, and my new friend Clotilde will finally have a healthy kidney and a fresh new start to life. I am so grateful to be a part of this swap program involving 14 people and blessing 7 patients with new organs and brighter futures,” he wrote.
And then it continued, “Soon my pain will disappear and my scars will fade away, but the love in my heart from this experience will forever remain. 💛”
Donating is important, and we think that this is amazing. See the post below –
