The story of a woman who gave not only her heart but also her kidney to her boyfriend who cheated on her is now viral.
In a BuzzFeed Video, Colleen Le shared that her relationship with her ex-boyfriend started in 2015.
She later on discovered that the man has been battling a kidney disease called CHRON for 10 years. Colleen added that there was a point when her ex-boyfriend’s kidney was working below five percent.
“I didn’t wanna wait to, you know, have his condition get worse, or he could have passed away too. In order to donate, you have to be in good health. They have to do tests to make sure your body can survive with just one kidney. And so, I had to do a bunch of tests to see if I was a match,” she said.

It took her months to finish all the tests required to know whether she is qualified to donate one of her kidneys.
“Surgery was pretty easy. They put me under anesthesia, so I was knocked out the whole time. Once I woke up, I just remember waking up to tubes in my mouth, and they tried feeding me like, you know, ice cubes, and I almost threw up. But other than that, I just went back to sleep. And it took me about two weeks to recover, like, to feel back to normal,” she said.
Following the transplant, Colleen said that her ex-boyfriend’s life has changed. No more tubes and dialysis.
The ex-boyfriend then sought her permission to go to Las Vegas for a bachelor’s party. Colleen said she trusted him and allowed him to go.

But after returning from the party, the man confessed that he cheated on Colleen a number of times.
She tried to give him a chance but their relationship deteriorated until they decided to break up.
Colleen is now in a relationship with another man and she said that she does not regret her decision of offering her kidney to an ex.
“I haven’t been happier. I’m not mad at him. I don’t hold any grudges against him. I only wish him well and for him to live a happy life. I don’t want my kidney back. Go ahead and have it, and make sure you treat it well,” she said.
