 <\/p>\n

Hi, my name is Curlethia Ghomes, 27 years old, single mother of one daughter , from Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

my journey started on April 11th 2011, I was home sick for weeks, started losing weight and my skin colour was getting pale. I went to the doctor and they run some tests and told me the worse news I could ever imagine I was diagnosed of kidney failure.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I got an instant breakdown, Emotional stressed which lead to my depression.<\/p>\n

I felt like my life was over At such a young age, I was then admitted to the hospital for months living my 1 year old baby girl in the care of my mom. My heart was broken into pieces because I wasn’t there to nurture my baby girl, this was so hard for me.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Despite it all I never lose my faith in God and always told myself “God knows best”.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to come public with my story, because this past years has been really hard for me and my biggest fear is losing my battle and living my baby girl behind, I am kindly seeking a kidney donor.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
