Mum-of-two living in hospital for a whole year desperately waiting for a new heart

Jenna Williams has spent the last year of her life living in hospital. She is in desperate need of a new heart so she can return home to her wife, Nicola Williams and two daughters.

It isn't the first time Jenna is undergoing this wait to save her life. She underwent a heart transplant 17-years-ago, in 2006, just a month after being added to the donor list after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy.

This time, things are a little different, she is being kept alive by a machine at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. In the last year, there have been four instances where a heart has become available for Jenna, but each opportunity failed at the final hurdle.
