Help Save Baby Leon. He Needs Liver Transplant
Donation protected
Leon is fighting a liver disease called Biliary Atresia.
He has dextrocardia (his heart is positioned on the right) with situs inversus totalis (his organs are in mirror image, his liver is on the left side) and had his Kasai when he was three months old right after the cholangiogram was done to him we're already informed that his liver already have scarring.
He was in and out of the hospital right after the Kasai Operation up until his 1st birthday. He was on oral prophylactic antibiotics up to his 3rd birthday and we thought that everything will be okay and that he won't need liver transplant yet.
Just by the month of February 2021, he started to have pale stools and he suddenly became jaundice. We thought he is having another bout of cholangitis but after a series of tests, the doctors told us that his liver is starting to deteriorate and it breaks our hearts hearing this.
We need to raise funds immediately because with this disease it's a race against time. Hopefully, his father will be his living donor and our last resort will be through a deceased donor.
