Raising money for transplant expenses
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Beckie I am fundraising for my daughter, Mariah’s transplant expenses. Mariah was born with a liver disease called Biliary Atresia. She had her first surgery at almost 4 weeks old called a Kasia. She did well with her Kasia up until around a year and a half ago. She then had her first bleed. Since then she has been getting worse. In April she had to be in Pittsburgh for a week do to ascites which is fluid around her abdomen. She had an infection in the fluid called bacterial peritonitis. Just a few weeks ago she spent two weeks in the hospital due to having more fluid on her. This time it was in her lung which caused her lung to collapse. During this time she also had an infection in her blood. Pittsburgh wants to move forward with a liver transplant. I have been tested and match with her so we are hopeful for a living donor transplant. We are raising money for travel expenses, living expenses while we stay In Pittsburgh and any other unexpected expenses during this process. Thank you in advance to anyone who donates or shares this.
