Guillermo David Martell Novas: El Salvador

Kidney Transplant Dept: The 44-year-old Toronto woman has been on a wait list for a kidney transplant from a deceased donor since 2009, and was thrilled when a living donor, a relative by marriage in El Salvador, offered to donate one of his kidneys, according to The Star. Twice, Novas, 38, who lives in El Salvador, applied for and was denied a visitor s visa to come here for further tests and a possible transplant, once in October 2011 and again this past January and vilma Serrano has end-stage renal disease and needs a new kidney, but only Immigration Minister Jason Kenney can help. Guillermo David Martell Novas, the brother of Serrano s husband s sister-in-law, completed all preliminary medical tests and was deemed a viable donor, but hit a roadblock with Canada s immigration office.
