It will be great joy for chronic kidney failure patients to say I no longer need dialysis once they are transplanted and once the medical team declares that there as no way in the world that could have done better! what a message to take home!!

On behalf of trust I have great pleasure to publish this third booklet "Life with a transplant kidney".

Our trust is very greatful to Dr. Vidyaben Acharya, Dr. Bhupendra V. Gandhi very prominent nephrologists for contributing very informative articles.

Our trust is very greatful to Shri Nana Chudasama, chairman National Kidney Foundation and Ex. Sheriff of City of Bombay for giving nice foreword to this booklet.

I do hope that the articles covered & VIEWS expressed by the transplant patients in this booklet will help chronic kidney failure patients who are entering the world of kidney transplantation.

What is a Mother?

What makes a mother special?

It's the love she always shares.

The many, little thoughful things

That shows how much she cares...

When you're little, she protects you.

She tucks you in at night.

And when you feel unhappy

She's the one who hugs you tight...

With her gentleness and patience

she teaches you the way.

To solve the grown-up problems.

That you'll have to face someday...

And when she knows you're ready.

A mother steps aside.

But still she watches over you

With tender, loving pride.
