Andy and Elma Deans are hosting a coffee morning at their home tomorrow (Saturday April 15) between 9am and 2pm to raise vital funds.
All the money raised will be donated to the Renal Unit at Altnagelvin Hospital where their son is currently receiving dialysis three days a week.

The couple's son Andrew is currently waiting on a kidney transplant. He received a transplant six years ago but sadly his body rejected it.
The family hopes to raise as much money as possible for those looking after their son and also raise vital awareness for organ donation.
The family, who have been fundraising for the last forty years, said: "It's an extremely emotional time for us as a family and we would like to arrange a fundraiser for the Renal Unit, Altnagelvin Hospital who have been an invaluable support to Andrew on his ongoing journey.
"Please take some time out from your busy schedule to support this very worthy cause which is very dear to our hearts. Coffee, tea and delicious treats will be served."

The coffee morning will be held tomorrow, Saturday April 15, between 9am and 2pm with an entry cost of £4.00

It will be held at the Deans' home: 7 Richill Park, Kilfennan, BT47 5QX.

There will be a book sale and many prizes to be won.
