  • Episode 134: A Warrior’s Journey: Councillor Hilaria’s Fight for Life, Hope, and Advocacy

    Episode 134: A Warrior’s Journey: Councillor Hilaria’s Fight for Life, Hope, and Advocacy
    May 19 2025
    In this deeply moving episode of The Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee sits down with the inspirational Councillor Hilaria as she shares her extraordinary journey through chronic kidney disease, multiple organ failures, and ultimately, a life-saving transplant. Her story is one of unimaginable adversity—from being diagnosed during pregnancy to surviving septicaemia, cardiac arrest, and a coma. Yet, through it all, Councillor Hilaria never gave up. She candidly recounts her years on both peritoneal and haemodialysis, the emotional toll of waiting a decade for a transplant, and the strength she drew from her loving husband, children and dedicated healthcare team. When the call finally came, it wasn’t just a kidney—it was a second chance at life. Councillor Hilaria reflects on the profound gratitude she feels for her donor’s family and how this experience reignited her faith and purpose. Now an elected official and powerful advocate for kidney health and organ donation, Councillor Hilaria’s story is a beacon of resilience, transformation, and service. Whether you’re a kidney warrior, caregiver, or ally, this episode offers hope, strength, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is light ahead.
