20 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Aly Coyle donated her kidney to a stranger.
- She met the six-year-old boy, Xaviar, and his parents.
- Ms. Coyle was the 100th stranger kidney donor from Northern Ireland.
A deeply emotional meeting occurred between Aly Coyle and the young boy whose life her organ donation saved. Ms. Coyle, a 40-year-old from County Down, shared that tears were shed when she finally met six-year-old Xaviar and his parents.
Ms. Coyle described the encounter as "very emotional," with both she and Xaviar's mother crying, while the boy appeared somewhat bewildered by the intensity of the moment. Xaviar, originally from England, received a successful kidney transplant earlier in the year.
This selfless act marked a significant milestone, as Ms. Coyle became the 100th person from Northern Ireland to donate a kidney to an unknown recipient. The successful transplant offered a new lease on life for Xaviar.
