We go at least as long until someone gets up to save his or her kidney. Razia Santoe

Santoe that a son of 6 years has, is three days a week in the hospital for dialysis. She is on the waiting list, but it will take years before they are eligible for a donor kidney. Of her kidneys is only two percent.

Family and friends who can donate a kidney, she has not. As many as six times she tried that five were rejected after a screening at the hospital, the owner of one kidney approved later withdrew. Her family was not yet behind the transplant.

Crowdfunding Campaign
On its website Santoe asking for money or a kidney. The collected money she wants in her campaign stabbing: 3000 euro will it be able to reach 200,000 people. This concerns, for example through ads on Facebook and YouTube.

Behind the crowdfunding campaign is a team that voluntarily participates in the action with only one question: Can you save a life through crowdfunding? The project originated when Razia came in contact via Facebook with the EO, the communications turned on.

Roti
against Her performance make it the consideration of a donation worth. So you get to a contribution of 100 euros secret roti recipe from her mother; with a deposit of 500 euros, the Surinamese Dutch bring rotirol.

Ambitious is Santoe sure. If the campaign on the Internet does not work, she has a TV commercial on the eye. “We’re at least as long until someone gets up to save his or her kidney, my life,” she says on her site.

Critical note
On the website of the Dutch Transplant Foundation (NTS) provides a cautionary note with respect to the action. Director Bernadette Haase writes that she understands the action, but that access to advertising agencies, media and money may not be decisive in being able to find a kidney donor or not. Also, according to her ‘unclear’ where the money raised is used for and who is going about it.
