Yonas, driven by desperation and the dire circumstances surrounding his family in Eritrea, made the drastic decision to trade one of his kidneys, which was fueled by an overwhelming need to alleviate their suffering. He faced immense financial pressure due to debts and saw this as a potential lifeline to support his family, despite knowing the legal risks involved in such a transaction.
As he sat waiting for the medical attendant to prepare the anaesthetic, Yonas reflected on his family back home. Thoughts of his younger brother being forced into military service and his sister facing a life of servitude weighed heavily on him. The trade of his kidney was not merely a transaction; it was a sacrifice for a family burdened by poverty and despair, a desperate attempt to afford their basic needs.
