My Story! 📝
Hey! I have renal failures, both kidneys failed when I was only 11 years old... I’m now 24 and I’m here to share my story. I’ve been in two kidney transplants, my first kidney was from an unknown donor back in 2008. It only lasted about a year but unfortunately, it failed... I was on a treatment called hemodialysis, I didn’t like it. I was very depressed and missed so much school because of it. My second kidney was in 2014 from a family member it lasted longer than my first but unfortunately, I lost that kidney mid last year 2018 due to my unexpected pregnancy. It was the hardest year I ever had to go through because I had lost my baby... I was very sick for months, and also devastated that I lost another kidney. I really thought I was going to die because I was very sick.

Aloe Vera, One of the Most Powerful Plants on Earth and Its Amazing Health Benefits
I have been using aloe vera for a number of years now ever since a member of my family became quite ill and I wanted to find a herbal remedy to help boost our immune system. This is when I came across testimonials and reviews on how drinking aloe can help repair our bodies and cleanse ourselves to get rid of any toxins we may have. Before I researched aloe, all I knew about it was it was great for sunburn as I am fair skinned I have unfortunately been burnt before and used aloe as a cooling gel to help soothe the pain. It always worked, so it wasn’t that surprising to me to hear that it can detoxify our bodies and boost or immune system and possibly be used instead of over the counter medicine, this lead me to go on and buy an aloe plant so that I could make my own smoothies with the whole leaf and try these amazing immune boosting drinks.

And that’s a good thing... for me.
