A Saudi social media influencer made headlines after donating her liver to a young girl. Al-Johara Al-Hoqail's social media following increased when she revealed she voluntarily donated a part of her liver to save Jumana Al-Harbi. Social media users outside the UK praised her noble act of empathy and compassion. Local media reported the hashtag with her name was trending on social media platforms. The influencer told the media that she had finally fulfilled a dream. She told the press she'd wanted to donate an organ since she was 15. Al-Johara said she heard about the girl from her friends and responded instantly, pointing out that many people die every day because not a single soul is willing to donate organs for them. Al-retinal Johara's injury required a transplant, yet she helped the youngster. Al-Johara has been volunteering since childhood and has taken part in charity work. People shared Al-story Johara's on social media to inspire others. BKM/ Expat Media
