North Belfast family desperate for lung transplant to help 'dying aunty'

A North Belfast family say they are desperately trying to find help to secure a lung transplant or other life saving treatment for their aunty who is being kept alive on a ventilator in hospital.

Clare Mahon, 44, is currently in intensive care at the Belfast City Hospital where her family are hoping to secure treatment that could keep her alive, with doctors telling them she would pass if the ventilator is turned off.

The mum-of-two has suffered from pulmonary fibrosis or scarring of the lungs, for the past 13 years and was recently admitted to the Mater Hospital after contracting Covid.
