Kristy Goldstein's Liver Transplant

My 17 year old niece, Kristy, is a beautiful, funny, smart, silly young woman who was recently diagnosed with a rare hereditary disease called Wilson's Disease . It is a rare inherited disorder that causes too much copper to accumulate in your liver, brain and other vital organs. Symptoms typically begin between the ages of 12 and 23.

Luckily, it was caught early enough to get treatment but in order to fully treat her, she is going to have a full liver transplant (possibly tonight, November 29). 

Her medical expenses are going to be astronimical, even with insurance, and I am asking the community to help her parents in this trying time.

Please share this page and send positive thoughts to my Kristy for a speedy and easy recovery.

You can follow her journey and send her messages on CaringBridge.

Thank you so much for helping this wonderful girl who has touched so many lives in her so far, short life.
