Liver for Kassidy

Please help us raise the needed money so that our little angel, who was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia, can get a new shot at life.

Biliary atresia is a rare disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. Symptoms of the disease appear or develop about two to eight weeks after birth. The bile ducts are either narrow, blocked or missing. About one in every 20,000 is born with biliary atresia. In east Asia, an alarming one in every 5000 babies has been diagnosed with this disease.

Biliary atresia cannot be cured by medicine. We see ourselves racing against time.

I remember the happiness I felt when I saw the two pink lines on the pregnancy test. And then I carried her in my womb for nine months. My days were filled with love and excitement. And would you believe it I was making plans already for her 1st birthday and somehow wondering if she will be an engineer, a doctor or an artist. It was pure bliss when I heard her cry at the delivery room. Finally, I have a family.

All we want is simply having a complete healthy family. And we want to ask good samaritans here to give us a hand to achieve that simple dream by saving our little Princess by giving her a healthy liver. There are two leading countries that has a good reputation and success rate in performing liver transplant: Taiwan and India. We decided to choose India as it is cheaper than Taiwan’s package for the said transplant.
