Kristin Hamill, from Greenock, nearly died from sepsis last June after being struck down by a mystery illness
A young student who almost died from sepsis is now desperately searching for a kidney donor to save her life.
Speaking to the Record, Kristin said: "I went from being young, fit and healthy to not being able to do anything for myself. It was terrifying. During this time she was started on dialysis and had several blood fusions. She was unable to walk or eat and was fed through nasal gastric tube. A number of Kristin's friends and family have signed up to be tested as possible donors, but while faced with a lengthy wait on the transplant list, Kristin also decided to post a Facebook appeal searching for a match and has been overwhelmed by support as over 200 people came forward to be considered as a possible match.She added: "It's insane that complete strangers would offer something like this. It's so overwhelming.
She continued: "Doctors are hoping that my liver will repair on its own. It's scary, but right not I'm just focusing on getting a new kidney.
