Steve Harris

May Brown from Weymouth has leukaemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Her sister Martha from Nigeria is a match but was refused a visa because she didn't earn enough. After over 60000 people signed a petition to support them, the Home Office reconsidered. Martha is now in the UK and the transplant will happen next month. May tells us how she found out her sister was going to be allowed into the country.
